Static

The number comes up
The typical 910
My heart mimics my
phone as it flips open.

Hi.

I try to sound
okay
I try to say
somethinganything

How are you?

[lonely]
alright
[i miss you]
how are you?

I'm good.

[i'm nervous]

Entertain me

[I fail]

phones never were my thing

Something in your voice
plugs something in my brain
my heart
I can't think, can barely feel.

But i feel you and that's enough.
Your presence
Your voice
I don't want to say anything

[i can't say anything]

Sorry if i sound distant
[but you are a world away]
Bridging the gap
[is harder than it seems]

You cause my brain to fuzz
my tongue can't get past the
static of my beating
heart.

I'm much better with
letters.
I really need to send
the one i've written.

Just in case
the static was too much.
please remember,
i love you

Author notes

Yeah, so i felt horrible after the phone call so I felt i needed to make amends. I hate phones. but at the same time I love hearing your voice and i look forward to your calls. I just have a hard time saying much of anything. I'm definitely an in-person sort of person.

messed up love a little?

    thats exactly how t is with my boyfriend, we are far away from each other and phone calls make me become a zombie and i zone out
    but just knowing hes on the other side of the phone is comforting-and even though we are both distant from each other while talking on the phone, we both feel satisfied with the silence because we feel that the other person is atleast on the other side of the phone♥ beautiful poem

      thanks

      Thanks for your comment; it's comforting to hear that I'm not alone. And I totally know what you mean by zoning out...

    hey, at least i'm not getting ditched for family guy. I really didn't have anything to say either, just wanted to hear you for a little bit. it's wierd, i get that whole fight or flight feeling while it's ringing, and when you answer my brain just shuts off.
