In My Time Of Need. Poem by Geoffrey Fafard

In My Time Of Need.

Rating: 5.0


Only now dear one
In my hour of need I call on you,
Call for you, call out to you
Please help me now, right now, I beg
Oh so desperate I am for your help
Here alone in the dark-scared, frightened
-
'Sorry I'm not available.Leave a short
Ten second message I will get back to you'
Ten seconds goes whilst I take a breath
Preparing to speak.
'Texting you with bleeding fingers
Gets me nowhere but more painfully lost
Emailing you@ panic.com
Only comes bouncing back

Oh no, good God!
I have just realised I am about
To be deleted…..!
