Flash Back Friday: Call

Here's an old one for the books!
The short time I got to live with my mom a lot happened.  
I remember this as it just happened.  

One night my mom woke me up and told me my dad was on the phone...  
After making it to the phone and then back to my room it resulted in me writing this.  
I was a bit of a dramatic kid!  lol!  Everything was dire I guess!  

You have to understand, I didn't have the best relationship with my father especially after coming to terms with who I was.  I'll talk more about that later.


Sleeping soundly I was awaken by
the shocked voice of my mother.
With an uneasy tone she spoke and said
it was my father.  
With sudden energy I leapt from my bed!
I searched for the phone as if I had been expecting that call.
With all my effort and all my speed,
I was slow.
Finding the voice to answer,
I expected to discover a voice on the other end...
Dead silence fell upon me

Did he not have a choice but to hang up?
Did he just want to feel like a father?
Or did he just call to say that he no longer wished to be my father?
