Voicemail
It rained earlier;
Big, fat drops that
Splattered on the pavement.
I watched the rain and
Heard your voice:
'It's coming down
Like stair-rods'
You said.
Only you didn't
Because you're not here.
I'm talking to the cats,
And the dog.
This is what you reduce me to
When you're not here.
We miss you.
I rang you earlier.
Did you get my message?
Well it doesn't matter
Because here's another one.
About rain and cats and a dog.
It's raining again.
I still miss you.
So do the animals.
Are you coming home soon?
I love you.
I hate voicemail.
Have I told you that?
But I want to hear your voice.
It's still raining.
I still love you.
I was in the shower
When you rang.
I'm sorry I missed you.
I still miss you.
I'll always love you.
I'm in bed when you come home.
I hear your car and
then the front door.
I know you say goodnight
To the cats and the dog.
And then your footsteps
On the stairs.
You try to be quiet
Because you think I'm asleep.
But I can't sleep without you.
You smell of the rain
And of coffee.
Your feet are cold
But your heart is warm,
And full of love for me
You hold me close
And kiss me.
You say 'I love you'
Then you tell me
You have a confession.
You save my messages
So you can hear my voice
Whenever you want,
Because you miss me
When we're apart.
I don't hate voicemail any more.
Thanks for reading. :)
