Static Lines Poem by Brittany Marsh

These broken communication lines
try to mend themselves.
Still, all that's heard are broken words and static waves.
Hours go by, no words are exchanged.
Everything's morphed through time,
a twinge of pain is felt
because of a half-hearted goodbye.
Statelines cause distance,
miles destroy my persistance.
Hoe can one try
when one has never looked her in the eye? (one being I)
What if I'm still who I used to be?
The one who caused fear
and sadness.
I'm controlled by this rage inspired hate
that solidifies in the back of my mind.
