The Constant Ring
Being alone hurts more than you think,
having the waves of constant struggles hitting and causing you to sink.
I heard the constant ringing but chose to go my own way.
Not getting attached I've learned was a mistake.
It only causes heart-aching pain.
The pain dulling me,
causing me to go insane.
I thought I was alone,
having to face my constant fears,
trying to make everything clear.
All alone.
I ignored you.
I ignored the constant ring.
I tried so hard not to get attached,
I left you, I tried to act like a match.
But in reality a match without a lighting strip is broken.
I was broken.
My heart in tiny shattered glass pieces.
Tears fell down my eyes for many reasons.
Then again I heard the constant ring.
You kept trying to get me to listen,
calling me trying to find out if i was all right.
But I missed it,
I let it ring,
the sound of my phone repeating.
It went on like this for many nights,
I was a mess and it was such an ugly sight.
Then again I heard the constant ring.
This time was different,
Finally, I answered my phone.
I guess I was just tired of being alone.
I cried so hard that night
and you told me that everything was going to be all right
I answered the constant ring.
Now I've realized my mistake
Yes I still go through some pain
But it's bearable because it's not just me.
It's us, it's we.
The presence of God was that constant ring.
