the number you have dialed phenomenon

I want to say Tell me
  Tell me it's not my head
 Tell me what you haven't said
Tell me why you won't 
          Speak
And then I fall asleep
   But even in my dreams
        You won't



I can't sleep
    My mind won't be still
You might know why
Don't ask me
     It tumbles like a machine
       Polishing stones with sand
  Over and over
 Until they become smooth and beautiful
    When will the words become beautiful?
  Over and over...

  1. Thank you!!! I love this poem. I am glad you un-unreposted it. I love the last few lines. I love it. I can't think of any other praise than I love it.

  2. Only because you saw it before I removed it...... haha. But if you love then it may stay.

  3. Thank you, Cearra, for the intervention. I love this poem, too, and was disappointed when it was removed. Glad it's back...
