Waiting For Your Call

Stillness screams at me,
I want to cry out

like a child lost,

but I am a dissident

in a cold world
of repressed emotions~

This hotel room mocks me,
these miles away from you
might as well be
light-years~

I've never called

any woman my

soul mate, because

until I met you

 

my heart was

resolutely opposed

to such belief, and
you changed that~

Until I return to you

all basic comforts are

cursory, and 

counting the minutes;

is my pass-time.

My only necessity,

is to hear your voice

nightly on the phone;

it is my drug

to ease the pain

of missing you

and no,

hugging a pillow
is not the same,

even if I do

put your picture on it.

    This didn't make me cry. It is sad, yes. I dislike missing a love, greatly...I miss my family now. But this didn't make me sad. I thought you were going to make me cry when you wrote,
    "I am a dissident
    in a cold world
    of repressed emotions".

    This is a good write. Because shouldn't be between soul mate and until I met you. Just read it...it doesn't sound right.

    Good write though, keep it up.

      Actually it does if you read it as one sentence with the next stanza.

      "I've never called any woman my soul mate, because until I met you my heart was resolutely opposed to such belief..."

      Reading it that way makes perfect sense to me, however... reading that way means that the "AND you changed that" makes it seem like a run on sentence. *sorry, daughter of an English teacher..hehehe*

      Anyway Micheal, I liked this piece. It something that I can definitely relate to. Fortunately, mine had a happy ending. I now live with my love, so I don't have to miss him. I hope your happy ending comes soon.

    Yes, it is true that sometimes we have to hug a pillow but it is definitely not the same! Great poem. Thank you for sharing it with the contest.

    lol. Loved this line, resonates with lonliness;
    "but I am a dissident in a cold world "
    Good luck in this contest!
