Phone call

Phone call

          The room was full

            with biting loneliness

            and so was I.

            A cemetery-silence prevailed

            before you called.

            The ringing shattered the silence,

            Tore open the loneliness.

            My breathing started

            and so did my heart-beats

            just for some moments

            and then I watched

your voice moving away saying,

‘Goodbye!’

The room is now swallowed by

the same biting loneliness again

and so am I.
