In the growing absence of your words
my mind begins to race up Everest
thoughts consume every part of me
an intricate web of tales are woven
my leg trembles as I stare through the phone
I envision all of the things you are doing
In your silence I write and rewrite our script
The beat of my heart speeds up
Every sound causes me to react
I close my eyes
Envisioning your mouth, your lips
Speak to me, speak
My calls go unanswered
Panic settles itself in my chest
My eyes begin to well
I shut out the world
attempting to recall the sound of your voice
a sentence, a word, a breath
silence
[work in progress]
