Watching the Clock

Watching the Clock -
by Josie McCall

I used to think,
Being lonely was how I felt,
Between when I looked at the clock,
And when you were due home from work.


I was fooling myself.
Being lonely,
Is knowing
You will never walk through the door again.



Pain, like a blow to the chest,
Knocks the wind out of me.
I’m unable to put into words
The hurricane blowing through me,
The icy wind of loss,
The white-hot anger at being abandoned.
