The Pain Of Patience Poem by Annabel Cruz

The Pain Of Patience

Rating: 5.0


Loving you
Through copper wires
Has taught me
The pain of patience

Caressing your voice
With the touch of my ear
Pressing tightly
Against the plastic
That connects us

Wanting your words
To fill me, over
Fill me….to the brim
Of exhaustion
Like a night of sleepless passion

I ration the pleasure
A miser…savoring and conserving
For the famine
That lies after the tone
