The One Call I Missed

Why did you lie to me? You said you would call Still I wait here by the phone This is not how it's meant to be I feel like I have been a fool Are you the one who steals my heart? You say I am the one for you One who cares would not treat me this way As I wait I fall too sleep In the morn I will not care I will search for my loved one Do not call I will thrive on my own Sad is not the way to be This is how to write a poem with just one. It is hard to write this way. For the One to one contest.

Richard This is a poem filled with all kinds of emotion. Hope, faith, sadness, loneliness, longing, and heartache. Thanks for the wonderful comment on my Web Of Love poem.

It's hard to stick to strict rules when writing. You've done it so well. The proof, I didn't realize that it was the one syllable rule until I read some of the posts. :) She is the one who missed out. Her loss. Great poem.

I applaud you with the one syllable word poem. I had zero faith in my ability to do this when I saw the contest!

She never called and she wasn't the one so all is well.
