Why do you call?

HugoPierce Poems

I am not scared of thunder The low rumbles cause no fear but when thunder is on the table It's my phone beckoning my ear I am not scared of lightning I look at the electric sky in awe But the candescent screen terrifies me because of the Caller ID that I saw I am not scared of storms the rain doesn't make me sad but a raincloud is hanging over me for that phone call was from my dad I am not scared of hail though the crystal bullets cause pain you have never cared about me so a call from you hurts just the same I am not scared of hurricanes though I think I probably should be I'm not here to soothe your conscience making you feel good is not my responsibility I am not scared of the weather for I know that it will always fluctuate storms don't stick around for long neither did you for the son you helped create
