Why Wont You Pick Up? Poem by Darren Heart

Why wont you pick up?
Why wont you pick up the phone?
I've been calling you for hours,
For my efforts, a ring tone.

Am I being avoided?
Want me to leave you alone?
We really need to sort this out,
Will you come down off your throne?

This really is frustrating,
We really should talk things out,
If we really can't communicate,
Then the whole thing's gone down the spout.

As i'm sitting here hitting redial,
There's a change to the ringers song,
A crackled voice at the end of the line,
To inform me I'd been dialing wrong!
