The Test
01-01-04
A challenge of emotional strength, Sifting sands of time not knowing true time’s length.
Waiting by the phone in anticipation of a ring, Frustration and the feel of loss a place that I have been,
Here I am again with a heart that weighs me down. Long distance love being tested, still waiting on the sound,
Desire has changed, dependent on the ring, Two people who wait to hear that dreadful phone sing.
Will it be me, will it be her, I pace the hardened floors as my mind begin to stir.
Why, I think to myself as I break the silent air, I doubt this idea was really a good one, What if she just doesn’t care?
I know how much I do, but is she thinking the same thing, Stubbornness has caressed my mind as I wait upon the ring.
What if, there it is again, racing thru my head, Its late now, she won’t call, I lay down in my bed.
I look towards the pillow where she once lay, I remember the softness of her hair, pulling her close, Words we didn’t have to say,
I feel sick as if I blew my chance in a dream that could’ve came true. All because of a challenge, two stubborn people live life just feeling blue.
