The End
the message was sent
in hopes of delivery
to serve as a reminder
of a love still glowing
with an ember still alive.
the seconds transferred to minutes
as anxiety began to intoxicate
with thoughts dangling between ignorance and not knowing
both serving as a lead
to a call that would be conclusive.
the rings were successive
as a heart stilled before faith
and anticipation became erratic in response
with memories fueling reconciliation
for the call to end before an answer.
the reply was followed
as spirits fluttered at concern's familiarity
with selflessness pervasive, even in 'selfishness'
and the length of the effort
only adding to its sincerity.
the tears were delayed
with the first read being rational
and the following being a realisation
of an unrequited love
that was once requitted.
