Caller ID
To Alyssa
Please stay
That is what a dear friend says
When their loved friends and family
Drift away
They plead
Stay
My dearest friend said “it is okay”
So I left her be
The night I felt aroused
By a disturbance in the quiet sound
When my phone was buzzing
So confused at the fact
She was on my caller ID
Feeling her tears through the phone
Like a hurricane
Should of not let her be
“I’m feeling sad” words dripping like a gutter
Words of great sorrow, I could not mutter
Imagining the life leaking out of her
Like washed out red roses
After a storm
Our friendship was a song
Containing lyrics of “I am fine”
No, darling, your heart is divine
So I visited her dwelling
My heart making a yelling
Rushing up to her chambers
When I knocked untamed
Thrusting open her door
Not a word more
Hugging me like a child
This is what I lived for
And it took your words
To mend my heart
And I swore that our love would not grow apart
And it took my soul
To learn to let you go
Because I knew that we had roads
To travel upon, to differ on,
But I knew we were not alone
And when I became the middle of nothing
In the crossroads of nowhere and lost
I knew you were distant
But never far
Seeing the light peek over the signs
Of confusion and distortion
Where there was no fire
To warm my desire
You picked up my sorrows
And helped form a better tomorrow
Like nothing was a problem
Saving me
When I came up on the caller ID
Placed at the medium of a highway
A by way
Not a happy drive way
When I was run over by my own thoughts
You carried me home and reminded me
Of something I am not
You played nurse
I, the patient
Never thought this would grow
Like this, I do not regret it
When the medicines
I thought would save me
You called to my attention
This was no good for me
When the part of my mind
Collapsed at times
And I broke down in front of you
Not a judgment you made
Not a comment you said
You simply understood me
Like some angel from Heaven
A beautiful flower, my present
Because I prayed for too long a time
For you to have come around and changed my mind
You mend me
And I mend you
Something not every sister can do
And now, I have learned
That there is hope for me
Because you pick up my sadness

My friend, Alyssa, since day one, had always been there for me, despite my moodiest of days. She seems to always answer me when I call.
