Waiting for a Call

She sat by the table

Silently waiting for a call.

Listening-closely, attentively-

To her every tear that falls-

Her soft, fragile hand catching each drop.

Times passes by as she sits still.

Her mind confused,

not knowing how to feel.

And when the church bells rang as the clock struck four

She-with no second thought-went straight for the door.

A promise was forgotten,

A promise was broken.

He told her he would call and come

But he never did and those words went gone.

She sat on the sofa-

Waiting for her caller-

With her arms wrapped around her knees

waiting for a call that would never come.
