No Missed Calls

for a day, he left

he went away

he left all that would weigh

on him, and his heart

for some time he was gone

for more than enough to write a song

he questioned coming back

"how long will it be before i leave again?"

how long will his mind be free before busyness begins?

"i'm living life in circles, and i'm getting dizzy..."

but eventually he did‐

and with no missed calls, he left again‐

without reason to stay, he left

he went away

there were no messengers coming his way

no voices calling for his heart

more time had passed, with him being gone

for what, more than more time, can he long?

i question if, he'll come back

but with no missed calls, he didn't

will they ever see him again? -they didn't

"if i go back i'll just end up back here again..."

it was too late, when they knew what, or who, they were missing

they were left waiting, for eventually

it was too late, when they realized, they had already reached the end of the story-

his story
