Dial Tone

Everyone seems preoccupied

Too much on their minds

I'm just an annoying distraction

My insignificant words lost among conversations

more important than me

I sit in silence

the words "I am alone"

loud in my head

you no longer have the ability to hear

what I don't say

You don't want me there

You don't say it

but I can tell

I feel forgotten and alone

I feel unimportant

I pick up the phone

hear the dial tone

not your voice

why would you be calling me

The world is going on without me and I'm left behind

pleading for someone to wait
