Call of An End

sitting at a traffic light a phone begins to sound picked up at the second ring (oblivious to the impact) happiness is expected even just a hello (instead demolition) the world shatters phone falling from a hand a heart left torn (each beat a struggle) how is it so one second life feels whole between one blink and another there stands a gaping hole (hollow in pain) life is so fragile taken for granted never knowing for a second when it will come (The call of an end)

I love your poem! Great job! It's extremely relatable for so many of us. "Life is so fragile taken for granted never knowing for a second when it will come" This verse gave me chills. Awesome!

Thank you for the kind welcome, also for taking the time to read my poem! You're right, we don't know when the time will come, but when it comes it hits with enough force to split the earth it seems.
