Crumbling
Stealing glances at the clock
I waited impatiently
Typed impersonally
Made to do lists mentally
Then the telltale hour hit
and breathing came unsteadily
Tentative fingers dialed
The unknown beckoned and beguiled
Ringing and ringing and ringing
My sinking heart awaited trial
Until a voice on the other end
Quietly confirmed a fear most vile
Sending me falling onto my knees
and wondering if life would ever again be worthwhile
