Coming Home Poem by LeeAnn Azzopardi

Coming Home

Rating: 5.0

The desolation in my mind grows
Every day I check my voicemail
To see if you are coming home
But there's nothing
That makes me weep
For the last message I got was two days ago
And I play it over and over
To remember what yr voice sound like
Hoping it isn't the only one left
I watch anticipation at every moment
Near the bay window from dawn to dusk
And sometimes, beyond
I cannot play the sweet music
We once listened to
I only listen for the phone to ring
Eager to find you telling me
That you are coming home

My heart goes out to you, LeeAnn. It's so unfair for him to be playing these mind games.
