My Ears Are Bleeding (poem)

2015 - while at UCF  🎓 😄

---------------------------------------------------

I love taking Creative Writing because my professors force me to write things! Yay! 

So, I was instructed to write an epistolary poem in the form of an apology and this is what happened. Enjoy.

My Ears Are Bleeding

I'm sorry but the entire

time we were on the phone

I was making faces at you

Luckily for me, you had not heard

of FaceTime or it would have surely

been awkward

You see, you just talk too much

And I need to paint my nails

and this Hemingway book is collecting

dust but I have to know what it's about

for my Lit class

Can't you feel the strained silence?

My ears are being raped by your words

Your never ending words

Every pause gives me a quick glimmer of hope

But you start up again

Isn't your mouth dry?

Maybe you need some water

Please forgive me

I know it's mean

Please don't come over

But feel free to call whenever
