801 Poem by Starr Downing

These three number has a significant meaning to me
not just what the first three digits of your cell phone number used to be
this number represents everything
and seems like the only number I see
sometimes I’m awaken out of my sleep
only to take a peep
At a alarm clock that blanks 801
I close my eyes and it take me back to the begin
When felling of love were mutual
And now lies were known to be true..
I’m snapped out of my day dreams by loud boops of the register behind
And I turn around and reply eight dollars and one cents is your total
Then I begin to grab hold and everything takes toll
What is going on why do I keep seeing this number?
Makes me wonder
Why is this number always in my line of vision?
Is this a sign that your thinking about me each time?
Who am I kidding it probably all in my mind
I probably see other numbers a million more times
Whatever the case every time I see 801 I think about u
And sadly, thinking about you
brings back cold memories that still brew
I never forget the day you said we were though
You stole the beat from my heart
Making it tear apart
Causing it to lie completely still, and beg
For your love!
But legs grew instead
Its picks up the remains
and slowly drag s it feet down to the bottom of my ribcage
To a dark empty space that would remind you of a grave,
causing me to walk with a limp,
Slightly hunched over,
With my left hand over my right side,
Trying to comfort and sooth my damage heart
Because yes! , under my hand there is where it hides,
Trying to mend and protect itself from ever letting another love get inside
It cries and cries and eventually dies
8 lies,0 apologies left one broken heart
