Kelly Deschler Poet Sonnet

Wrong Number

And once again I whisper, "Wrong number."
Twisting the cold cord around my finger,
Sitting there, as cool as a cucumber 
Still knowing why I will always linger

It's you, it's you, I know that haunting voice 
Somewhere on the other end of the line,
I'm listening, as if I had a choice ...
To the same ghost in this tired ear of mine

You're truly making a long distance call 
And just who's to argue, when it's your dime, 
Ringing my old number, to tell me all ...
Showing up yet again on borrowed time 

While my teary eyes close, nearing slumber 
And once again I whisper, "Wrong number."
