UNTITLED

I looked you up

    To call you up



I haven't talked to you in close to five years



My palms were sweaty

    Hands shaking



The taste of fear rests on on the tip of my tounge



How bittersweet

    Nearly regretable



I nearly forgot how that feeling kicks my heart out of pace



As you spoke to me

    Splendidly unforgetable



You're voice so comforting, like MR. Bumpkin and my blankie



While getting over it

    This feeling of content



I ask you for one more favor, Dad may I speak to Mom?



But all you say to me is

    why dont you just come down stairs.




Author's Notes/Comments: 

Me and my parents (mainly my father) have grown apart over the years. I live at home, and still haven't talked to them in months.

I read your poems today. My favorires are:
changed and alone
fail
swear it
and untitled.
I searched postpoems' bios for interesting "bellybutton" poems - a very tedious process, sifting through the "innies" and "outies". Thanks for your originality,
and please keep writing,
Sara
