The phone rang out a sudden sound

The phone rang out, a sudden sound,

My heart began to pound.

They knew the answer, good or bad,

The news I waited for, or dread.


But then the line just went dead.

A hollow tone inside my head.

'Call Ended,' blinked the screen so white.

Lost in the fading afternoon light.
