Wire

Wire

I like to untangle my headphones in the dark.
It allows me to distract myself
from your messages on my phone

I like to untangle my headphones in the dark.
it takes longer each and every day.
And yet when I go to pick up my phone
You have left another note

I like to untangle my headphones in the dark.
I compose my thoughts.
Of course I know what needs to be said.
but when I go to pick up my phone,
I always lose faith in my words

I like to untangle my headphones in the dark.
The buzzing sounds so quiet.
My mind wonders in a maze of wire,
I wonder what you have to say.

I like to untangle my headphones in the dark.
I did not feel my phone vibrate.
You did not text me tonight.

I like to untangle my headphones in the dark.
A loop here, a knot there.
The wire almost makes me cry.

I like to untangle my headphones in the dark.
I consider the wire
just as you did
on that lonely Sunday night.
