Phone calls

Ring ring ri-
The repititon is provoking
Studies suggest, tone of voice makes a difference
Most misunderstandings happen on text
So I've started calling people

I miss you
How are you
Sorry i never call you
Sorry I don't respond to your text
Why did you not think about me?
Why did you not call me? 
I am trying to be here 
Now
Trying

Ring ring ring
Pick up
So I can hear your voice
that you still care about me 
maybe you were just busy for a moment
Ring ring ring
So i know you don't hate me 
that you'll be decent with me
Surely you thought of me
Ring ring ring
So I know you're alive
You were just really preoccupied 
take pity on me 
Ring ring ring
Nevermind

3:30 a.m. 6th March

The fire on the midnight stove
Is a little beating heart 
Insufficinet and warm
Aware of the timer ticking
Each second passing 
Pulsing in blue and yellow
It quiets down soon
The water has boiled now. 

My alarms warn me gently
The world shall be waking up soon
So much work is yet to be done 
And i have lost another night to you
Will i ever recover?
