Hey,
I’m sorry if this is a bad time, but I’ve been feeling lonely lately and I just wanted to know how you were doing.
Call back when you can,
All right, bye.

4:27am

Hey, it’s me, again.
Sorry, I’m calling, it’s just that I’m feeling weaker by the hour and I don’t know what to do.
I was hoping this call would wake yo-
You know what? I’m just going to try and sleep.
Sorry again, goodnight.
Call me back, please. Bye.

6:52am

Hey, it’s me again, I think I said that last time but I just-
I can’t figure out why I feel this way, it seems like the world’s caving in and I’m sinking into oblivion.
I’m sorry, that was weird, I’m okay, really. A wave of sadness just overcame me. I’m fine.
I’m fine, I promise. I just feel like I have no one to talk to and you’re still not up yet,
The sun is rising slowly, maybe I’ll take a walk.
Yeah, that’s what I’ll do, I’ll take a walk.
Call me when you wake.

3:36pm

I think your phone is off, please turn it on, I don’t know who else to call.
I took off work today — called in sick, so if you’re free, we can grab a coffee or something, together.
Can we do that please? C-Can you please turn on your phone? I really need a friend right now. I just feel so alone. I’ll ring you again, maybe you’ll hear it this time. Maybe it’s on silent, please pick up.

5:05pm

I think your voice mailbox is almost full so I just want to let you know that I’m seated at a Starbucks waiting for you. I got you your favorite, or at least, I think I did, come and find out?
If you don’t, it’s okay, I know you’re busy. I understand.

Everyone is.

Well, anyway, I’m here. Just in case you find time to talk, I’d really like that. I’m in desperate need of a friend.
I’m in desperate need of you.
All right now, take care. I hope to see you soon.

6:52pm

battery too low to make calls.

As it says in my tagline: I'm just a writer writing about love because that's what all the cool kids are falling into these days. However, the type of love I write about is based more on the likeliness of modern day heartbreak. I originally started this blog as an outlet for therapy. I believe writing soothes the mind and allows us to express our feelings, which is exactly what I do here -- but in the form of poetry and spoken word pieces. I began writing in 2016 and I like to think the content I put out is relatable and hard-hitting since there's nothing new under the sun. You'll come to find I struggle a lot but without struggles, there is no growth, and believe me, I am growing. Slowly, I am working towards publishing my own works. Gallimaufry (one of the categories here on my blog) is one of them. I'm also in the process of writing, "war & peace", "where two hearts unify as one", & "i sold my heart to buy yours". Until then, feel free to linger around and read a few of my pieces; if you like what you see, be sure to hit the follow button at the bottom of my page to keep up with my posts and like & comment as you wish! Other than that, thank you for reading my About Me page! I'll be seeing you, B.K. Laurel
