Phone Buzzing

by Thomas

I need to put this on paper
Cause it's eating me inside and out
This feeling rumbling in my chest
The one that makes me fill my longs and shout

How much I want you
What I feel for you
How I adore you
What's going through my mind

I have to restrain myself
Put handcuffs on both my wrists
To stop me from texting you
But this feeling inside insists

So I spend my days
Drifting between hope and despair
Waiting for the phone to buzz
So I can jump out of my chair

And read the kind words
That your gentle fingers typed
So that the fire inside
Can be poked and re-ignite

I agree, this is a very cute poem Thomas. Hopefully this will come true for you someday if it hasn't already.

Excellent

This is a cute poem that sounded like rap.
I guess its due to the rhymes but I agree it's cute. The feeling of waiting for a text or a call from that someone and then it intensifies when in reality the text was from that someone.

In your first stanza, last verse noticed a typo; you put longs instead of lungs.

Other than that, I loved the poem it's short and sweet - and plays around a feeling that everyone has experienced ( waiting for a loved one to text first, etc).

A very cute poem, very relatable to almost everyone. When I'm waiting for a text from someone special, I always jump with excitement. It is hard to wait for a text though, you are always on edge... I'm always very impatient. I want them to text me back, asap lol.

A fantastic write! :)
