My phone rings beside me,
I look down,
See the name.
My hands shake,
My throat tightens,
I feel dizzy,
Like I might faint
Or throw up.
After all this time, why now?
Why call four times in one day?
Why can’t you leave me be?
I thought you’d forgotten me.
I was just another friend who you’d hurt
And then pushed away.
I finally made peace with it,
Stopped feeling like I’d failed you,
Moved on.
But now,
All the bad feelings flow back,
I’m scared,
And alone.
