Day 65 - Telephone

 TELEPHONE

Prompt - Telephone : Write about a phone call you recently received.

As with yesterday's subject, I have a problem in relating to it.  I hardly ever receive phone calls.  Most of my remote conversations with friends are on video link.  The last phone call I received was from my bank querying some transfers I'd made - hardly fascinating!  So I will turn to the phone calls I make to people in the course of my voluntary work as an advocacy worker.

This is not the first time

I have heard you tell me

Of a wish to die

Of bridges

And pills

And darkness

Still the voices leading

Different voices, different path

Same destination

I hear you tell me

You want to change

You want to live

You want a life

So why does every change

End up the same?

The Final Push

You say

You say so much

I listen

Belief lies elsewhere

As I sign off

I think the same thought

I hope this is not the last time
