The phrase
'Stuck between a rock and a hard place'
Has never been so relavent

I'm caught up in a constant struggle,
A battle of wills, so to speak

My mind plays cruel tricks,
Mutters sour 'loves me, loves me nots'

The phone rings,
A flourish of excitement

But it's not you,
A tsunami of disappointment

You said you'd call
I've been sat here for 3 ******* hours.
