Emergency Contact

I don't need a spark or a flame to burn. No butterflies,

no lessons learned. Just a number on my phone, just a name to turn.

When the world goes sideways, who will I call? Not about love,

not about the fall. I don't have to be attracted to you,

to need you when the skies turn blue. Be my backup, my lifeline,

my fact. Be my emergency contact. Your face won't haunt my midnight

dreams. No rom-com plot, no wild extremes. Just a voice I trust when

it all unravels at the seams. No candle lit dinners, no walks in
