Numbers light up
pushed down with
misguided fingers
from shaking, shivering hands
A moment's pause
is an eternity's pass
Interuppted by the dial tone
Wait. Wait.
Ring. Ring.
Anticipation plays
with my anxious mind
Click. Click.
No answer
Slip of awkward silence
Then,"Please leave your
message after the tone."
Beep.
Click.
There's too much in
"I love you"
the machine could never catch

This is very beautiful and shows your worth as a poet well.
You manage to make something so simple as a message on an answering maching into something bitter sweet and stunning.
Well done and best of luck here at AP
