I called again. dont ask why <br />I wanted to hear 'i was wrong' <br />I knew you weren't home <br />Maybe I could talk to your mom <br /> <br />I could ask her how she was doing <br />Ask her about life itself, too <br />Ask her about your brothers <br />And ask her what is true <br /> <br />I could ask her how she's been <br />If she's missed me at all <br />I could ask her if she won the lottery <br />Or if Nicco's gotten tall <br /> <br />I could ask her about Jamie <br />And how's your new school <br />I could ask her about music <br />Bands, and concerts too <br /> <br />I'm scared I might slip <br />'Does he talk about me? ' <br />I'm ready to face my pain <br />*click* answering machine...<br /><br />Gabriella Franco<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/answering-machine/
