Missed Calls

When you called me I waited a second to answer Anxiety shook my body to its core In that second time shifted That second turned into 5 seconds Then into 30 seconds By then the phone stopped ringing I never knew what heartbreak was I was naive when it came to love But somehow my perspective shifted I felt my heartbreak in those 30 seconds The phone rang again And I watched it’s blinking red lights- Mock the tears streaming down my face I backed away The phone screamed with desperation Its screams ridiculing my heart Laughing at the cracks forming Missed calls Most people don’t know the true meaning behind the name I do They call them that because they are missed conversations Missed hopes, missed second chances They are able to make someone miss you I do not answer his calls anymore It hurts too much to give myself false hope When he just wants friendship
