You can't send love to a voicemail. (Free verse) by drnick
Sorry I missed your call, you see it wasn’t on purpose. I’ve got a busy schedule now so your calls are all worthless. I would really like to talk, just not with you at the moment. I know you wait for calls back and bury the pain in your stomach. If you want you can call me back with chance of being labeled a creep. Please press one for the voicemail or just wait for the beep.

Up the ladder: I Can't Believe You

Loving the title, so direct and harsh!
Last line throws me a little though, not sure why, but if I replace 'just wait' with 'hang on' I get it to flow better. Plus it ties in with being on the phone if you know what I mean?

Hi, it's me again, sending you love in a voicemail.

I'm just curious/drunk, but have you ever given me more than a 7? Because if not, then it would give me purpose in life to receive a better score from you. If not, you're just more worthless than before.

Sober up and see if you feel like giving that another shot.

No, that's seems about right. Time to start drinking again!

This is good. Your next challenge is to write a sequel including the words 'bunnies', 'sunshine' and 'April'. I know you can.

That's too easy: there's nothing like murdering bunnies in the warm april sunshine. Shit, I could write a novel on that!

now that's funny. beginning to sound a lot like the opening cartton for that classic film: "better off dead".
i can almost hear john cusak's voice when i read your reply above.

grown up version of a pimple?

seriously though, this is better written than that.

think it's time for this person to start leaving excessively long messages with a lot of long silent pauses, heavy sighs, and cheery "talk to you later!"s at the end. oh, and if the message gets cut off for length, call back and continue. fill up her box [one way or another].
