Unspoken Dialtone

You called but I couldn't hear the ring

Your voice was lost in everything

Wires tangled in my chest

Still waiting for a text

There's a silence in the tone

A ghost inside the phone

You speak but it won't land

I reach but touch no hand

Unspoken dialtone

A signal all alone

A message never sent

A heart left on its own

We talk without a sound

We're lost but never found

Our love's a frequency

That won't come back to me

We dance around the screen

But nothing's in between

The light is always on

But everything feels gone

I stare into the glow

Hoping it might show

A word I never said

Still echoing in red
