Sitting in Silence

She's sick, ya know?
Putting so much faith in a dated guess.
She's done this before,
She hasn't called in so many days.

I sit here in silence,
And I hear the beep, beep, beep.
I want to sit here in silence,
But all I hear is that beep-beep-beep!

In my head
My brain's throbbing
In my ears
Are drums pounding
As I waste away minutes
In pondering the same thing

She's gone.
She's passed on.
The beep is now long-
Resonating, cultivating, resounding her song!

The silence, the mystery
My tongue tastes the distate
As my brain starts to whir
And wavers my faith.

I sit here in silence,
And I hear the long beep.
I want to sit here in silence
But all I hear is that beep!

It's been long
So what's wrong
I can not hold the con
For the worst is the hearse and it's playing her song!

I call again and again,
Left alone on the phone,
With the discomfort of voice
That conveys she's not home.

I sit here in silence,
And I hear the long beep.
I want to sit here in silence
But all I hear is that beep!

In my head
My brain's throbbing
In my ears
Are drums pounding
As I waste away minutes
With wishing the same thing-

Please be ok-
Please just stop thinking-
She's alright.
I'm just...overreacting.

...She's sick, ya know?
We've all faith in that dated guess.
She's done this before...
And I pray this isn't the only time left.

...Please just call back.

Author notes

This wouldn't let me sleep the night I wrote it, so I decided to finish it up and then post it here.

It's a dark poem conveying the worry from an individual who's friend/relative/whatever is sick and hasn't been heard from in days. Obviously, that's enough to keep anyone from sanity after a while.

I didn't spell check and I didn't edit, so it's totally raw. *yawns*
Now to sleep.
