no news is no news

The wait

no news is good news
no
no news is no news
I want information
I crave this particular fact
I don't want to not know
I want to know
and I want to know
now

then I can move on
make other decisions
because this will then be
old news
and that is good news
because it no longer has the power
to concern you

it has already happened
it is now a memory
you can get over it
it can't get any worse
it is an ex happening

but while I lay here
in ignorance
I can only think of this
look at the phone
in a vain attempt to
make them call me

i know that a letter will arrive in
the morning
a thanks but no thanks letter
a blah blah blah blah
thank you for your interest letter

so now I have to go through the picking up the post thing
the opening the letter thing
the knowing what's in it thing
the let's get it over with thing
the screwing up the letter and chucking it in the corner, thing
