a day that I'm trying hard to forget
the day that I nearly had a heart attack!
All because you didn't call me back
What happened to you?
I humbly ask of you?
I wanted to hear your voice again that morning
just for a few seconds my darling
I know you were rushing to work
you saw my many missed calls and smses
couldn't you spend just a few tiny seconds
to buzz your wife who was by that time in distress?
When there was no response from you that cold morning
I thought you'd buzz me once you
had reached your place of working
but even when the clock showed eleven a.m my time
it was nine a.m your time...
and still no show from you at that time
I smsed you once again
this time I panicked in emotional pain
I called you so many times again and again
still no response and tears rolled down my cheeks in vain
It suddenly occurred to me
that you may have been so unlucky
that you my LIFE were involved in some kind of calamity
my world of light eclipsed to that of darkness and grim
the day that my world stood still
Did you know what torment I was going through?
You didn't bother to call me or sms me...
even if you were in a meeting,
had I called, you'd have spoken to me
but this time not one word from you,
there was ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
During that long period of silence from you
I was like a puppet with its strings all cut loose
what could a puppet do without its strings?
The strings that bring it to colourful life
you chose to brush me aside my hubby
even though I am your beloved wife
I felt so weak and helpless
my whole word collapsed in seconds!!
As though my own life was gone
I couldn't cry any more tears
my whole being was torn
I decided to call you one last time
after what seemed like hours to me
and your beautiful voice I heard
on the other side of the phone suddenly
At that moment I realized the INTENSITY
of my immense love for you very VIVIDLY
WHAT THUNDEROUS JOY I FELT!!
To know that you were alrightbut I just couldn't compose myself
and to you I cried and cried and cried
all that relief from the tension I had
the hopelessness and fear of something bad
all disappeared when I heard your voice
explaining to me that you had smsed
that you were in a meeting
and in ten minutes to call you back
Whatever your reasons, I just didn't want to hear
because I still felt that to me you were totally UNFAIR
I'm your wife who loves and cares so much for you
I love you more than I love myself
I SWEAR this is true
All I ask is that you buzz me from work
and buzz me again when you are home
is that a request that you'd want to shirk?
knowing well that without you my darling I'm all alone!
Call me next time when you're in your office's car park
that's when I'll know you've reached work safely
I don't want you to call me when you're at your office
you know your dominating boss is such a freaking nuisance!
It may seem that I am being overly dramatic
but when it comes to you my LOVE...I become so FRANTIC
you are never taken for granted
you are loved all the time and always WANTED
Yes...that day my world stood still
I don't ever want to see another day like that
it will definitely make me shrill
I don't think that I can survive that
Darling please don't do that to me again
I beg of you please don't ever forget my deep pain
Think about this HEART BEATING always for you
Your wife who loves you so TRUE.

The husband should have called his wife. I can understand her anxiety. Very well described Neneps. It's as though you've experinced it yourself!LOL

What a heartless guy her husband is. She wanted to hear his voice and gave him so many missed calls and smses. Why couldn't he just call her for a few seconds? I am sure he had time to have his breakfast!!

Neneps! You can tell a whole story in your poem. From the time difference indicated in the poem, I can tell that both the husband and wife are living in different countries.
I suppose her lament is duely justified. She loves him so much and wanting to know his whereabouts is a very wifely thing. She's a good wife
He should have found time to buzz her.

My girlfriend and I have been together for 4 years now and I make it a point (without her reminding me) to buzz her when I reach my workplace everyday.
No matter how busy I am...I still find the time to buzz her first thing when I am at my office.
Buzzing his wife from his car park is a good thing to do if he's very busy once he reaches his office.
Women who love their men dearly expect these things from their men. I suppose it's just their manner to know that their men are safe.
So to the husband I say that nothing can be more important than his wife. Don't ever ignore her even just for awhile.
What if she treated you the same way?

So much of emotion has been put in this poem. I could feel the wife's suspense. Very well described and written. The picture complements the story very well. Where on earth do you find these pictures Neneps?

I love your choice of words in this poem madam Neneps. It takes one to have a good vocabulary to be able to come up with meaningful words that rhyme with each other.
Excellent work on a very simple theme.

I can understand what the wife was going through. I liked the way you rhymed 'intensity' with 'vividly'. These two words most definitely suit each other.
Great story.
