I tell myself
I hope he stays away
I’m better off
with a simpler life
If he doesn’t call me
I won’t call him
if I don’t hear his voice
if I don’t see his body
if I don’t meet his eyes
I’ll be happy
over the course
of five days
or a week
I convince myself
that it’s true;
I don’t need him
I don’t love him anymore
but then the phone rings
“Are you gonna be there?”
and I reluctantly say “yes”
and I wonder
why I can’t stop
staring at the accident
and the hand outside the sheet.

duddle146over 17 years agoA seemingly pleasant poem of being unable to resist ~ then the shocker last line. Marvelous word play.
Maria2394over 18 years agoI wasnt exactly drawn in with the first part, but kept reading because of Jim's review and was pleased. The end is *almost* the whole poem. good work
