I'm so afraid to pick up the phone…
I don't remember the sound of your voice
when you aren't angry.
I don't know
What you will say.
I don't WANT to know.
I don't want to hear that you're worried,
Or that you wanted to make sure
That I was alright.
But I can't just ignore you.

And I guess it cost me my freedom.
I'm biting my nails,
I'm pacing the hall.
But with a final, weak breath,
I reach for the phone anyways.
