- Unreachable
(Poem by me)

Oh!

The phone is ringing again
Unknown caller
Will anyone answer?
Will I just watch it again?

Hey! Want to be my friend?
I have lots to offer!
Emotional support - friendly banter
What will happen then?

The phone cord wrapped around my finger
Do you have no signal?
Ignoring your messages
My phone can only make calls

(So old fashioned!)

I am merely a passenger
The interference is coming from me
Your phone is ringing
But no one is answering

Can I leave a voicemail?
I cannot reach anyone
I seem to always fail? (How?)
Not a soul is on the line

That number is not mine
Can you hear me?
Everything is working perfectly
My connection is unstable

Such an old fable
Hello? Who is that?
I can finally make a call?!
...you want to chat?

(...what?)

But...I don't want to!
Hang up, please, I'm scared
I do not wish to get to know you!
I must beware!

Let me waste my credits
I cannot do this
What is my problem?
My issues - I do not wish to solve them?

(Such a hypocrite!)

Towers falling, I cannot hear you
I am a lesson, not a wife
Breaking hearts is nothing new
Sorry, I am in a tunnel currently
