you let me down

i hate waiting aimlessly
watching the second hand as it slowly crawls its way across the clock face.
the digital numbers jump ever so suddenly every painful minute.
the phone rings but no one answers.
i will mine to ring
but to no avail
so i can only make do with the sound of the keyboard clicking to fill in the silence.

maybe i should really just go to bed and not bother
what difference does it make
it was most likely just another empty promise anyway
