Pacing back and forth
Waiting for word
Hoping for good news
My impatience grows
Biting my nails, unaware that I’m doing this
Phone still motionless
Anxious for any news
Times a complete mess
The hours going by fast and the minutes are slow
Looking up to the ceiling and back down to the ground
Can’t sit still someone tell me something
A BUZZ and fly to my phone
SPAM MAIL!
Slam the phone
I can’t take this anymore
I stomp to the kitchen to make myself a drink
Grab the liquor and soda, put some ice in a glass
Take a sip, and then BUZZ!
I shot off running to my phone in the living room
SLAM!
I face plant as I trip on a chair leg
I don’t care about the news anymore
Just want my face to stop hurting
