Blocked

The phone occupies a small corner of my bed - 
yet you occupy all the corners in my head.

I lie awake, wait for your call - 
reduced to apathy, is this all?

Another waking dream, so real, so true - 
all I can dream of is you, is you.

I cannot go forward, cannot go back - 
I should give up on you, go and pack.

Instead I lie in wait, for what?
I ache to give us one last shot.

If you don't call - 
I think I'll bawl.
