Suddenly you shut me out, and what for?
Don't talk about my tongue when you can't even hold yours
Lord take me back
Take me back
Just like before
She's still everything
Everything that I adore
How did you stop me from coming too close?
Keep me at arms length, but I know you don't treat me like your other "friends"
Suddenly I'm filled with doubt, and what for?
Don't talk to me about my lies when you can't even keep up with yours
I've lost count of the
Missed phone calls
Never like before
She's still everything
Everything that I adore
How did you stop me from coming too close?
Keep me at arms length, but I know you don't treat me like your other "friends"

Dialogue Poetry Challenge Winners
Hannah Moore is a first-time grand prize winner with her dialogue poem, On Receipt of Bad News. This was a poem that genuinely engaged both with the exchange of our prompt, but also focussed on the way poetic rhythms of language could support the writer's conceit. It felt very truthful, too, the way one speaker wishes to ignore the news and focus on practicalities; there was a quiet heartbreak, here. Well done.
