Waiting

Waiting

The hair on my head falls out as I wait
I wait for you in the seat of my living room
having a couple of shots thinking about what you are up to
waiting for my phone to ring so that I know that you are coming home to me
I wonder what your doing at this time 
its past five and you are still no where to be seen
I finally get a call when the clock hits 6:30 
the police department called and said you were part of a crime scene 
you were my baby girl 
and we knew you had an important task in this world
I am devastated now thinking about what I could have done to save you
I just had to realize that you were my baby girl and that I loved you.

This gloomy story seems so realistic ...the pacing, worrying, and the sad news from the police. I don't want to think about the sadness felt by the parent. Very vivid pain and worry. I noticed you stopped writing after two poems. Submit more.
