I'Ll Reply (Next Tuesday) Poem by Matt Mercer

One year took so long
Standing in my way
Separating me from you
Fate made it clear
That our time was up
And the end was near

The phone rang
But it wasn't you
Sitting in the hallway
My mind a mess
The connection was lost
A price to pay
But at what cost?

To lie and wait
As the rain pours
Counting the seconds
Watching time pass by
Hearts will break
Not for my sake
But only for your own

Memories disappear
And leak into the void
The pictures mean nothing
To their frames left behind
