I Need This So Much

By Musik2MyEyes

What number do I dial?
What's the prefix?
What's the toll?
I would give up all the riches
To accompish
This one goal

Let there be a good connection
Please, no static
Not tonight
Need these words heard
Loud and clear
Bring a closing to my plight

Each of you has left
With no forewarning
No long term
It was not your voice that whispered
Of the passing
I can't affirm

I received the news by call
So I want
To do the same
Speak my heart to you
Release these words
Use them with your name

I never got to see you
Or hold you
Or your hand
You slipped away so silently
Fleeting
Like hourglass sand

My chosen words are few
I'll keep it brief
You'll see
Four altogether
Just real quick
You'll know they're just from me

I love you.
Goodbye.

Powerful writting. The beginning sucked me right into the poem and the surprise ending was perfect. Thanks for being so original when you write.

i had a feeling that would be how it ended. Nice way to describe that feeling and longing that you had/have. A touching piece
