Cold Telephone Booth

Static disruption
a crackling distraction

Is that my thoughts?
or are you on the other end?

I have been on hold
for far too long.

speak up, your fading fast
my minutes are running out

I have no more change
and I am getting cold

standing here alone
raindrops on the phone booth

then the line goes dead
I stand there for a long time

Trying to figure out
if the rain is coming in
or if I am crying

Then I see your face
on the other side of the glass
and feel your warm embrace.

    This is lovely, I felt the sadness when the line went dead and I wondered how it would end. I am very glad it was happily. Best to you dear Bandit

    Aww!
    This is beautiful!
    I love it.
    Such a simple poem, but it's filled with emotion and excellent description. I love this stanza :

    Trying to figure out
    if the rain is coming in
    or if I am crying

    So sad,
    but a happy ending.
    I like happy endings ^.^
