The voice comes in threw the phone
A crackle with my poor reception
The words I've never heard
Never thought about
Not seriously anyway
There is a breath on the other side,
The words come back to me
Repeated from his lips,
What do you want?
My mind is blank, Empty
I have no thoughts, words, feelings for this
No thoughts of who I am or what I want
Except when looking threw others eyes
Still no reply, this is the last time
He will say it, I can tell
What do you want?
To think as myself, about myself first
The strangeness of this sensation
Bile rises to my throat, I swallow down the burning
A quickening of my hearts pace, the normal tempo sped up
I don't know
It doesn't matter is the truth I know inside
I know that's what I would like to say
Because as my heart slows down
I know that's why i don't think of that
Its a sobering though
What I want doesn't matter
They come before myself
I have no control
I feel full circle now
I know what I want
But it is slipping away
I am back to where I started
Standing with a phone pressing against my ear and shoulder
Hands pruning from the water of dishes, still left to do
I can forget those thoughts
Bit inside me somewhere I know what I want
I know about the emptiness inside me
Family, friends, happiness,m confidence, beauty, and most of all
Love
But I forget and try to be happy with what I have
If I don't think about what I want I'm happy with what I have
