The Voice
The phone rings
The voice on the other end asks how I am
I can tell something is wrong before the voice starts to speak
I ask if I can call the voice back
I feel anxious and cannot concentrate
The feeling of dread builds in me
I call the voice back barely able to speak
The voice asks if im sitting down
I say not but should I, my legs crumbling under me
I ask whats happened now barely able to speak
The voice said hes dead, he hung himself, but doesn’t know why
I say goodbye, not sure how to feel
‘Hes dead, he hung himself,’ keeps resonating through my head
