Unpaid bills

The other day I dialled a number
Haven’t done so since forever
I hoped to hear your voice
But all I heard was the beeping noise.
I was disconnected
All my hopes fell ill fated.
I picked up the phone again
Just in case it was a slip
But I couldn’t dial again
I couldn’t bear the risk
Of hearing that beeping sound
Of being disconnected.
So instead I lay back in my dreams
Where possibilities were vast
And the oceans rough
Where deserts were calm
But the heat was real.
Where the icebergs never melted
But had edges that could cut through stone.
I lay there.
Waiting.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me

Or leave me all alone?
