HEY!*



Why won't you answer the phone......








I tried to tell you what you wanted to hear
That I'm sorry, I'm trying
Shhhhh.
I'll calm all your fear

But all I get is busy tone



beep

beep

beep

beep

beep

beep

Because you left your phone unhooked so you couldn't pick up
and I'm sick of this ****, and I feel you call me a ****
from the side of the phone that hangs low with distrust
and all you do is blame me for your past and your pain
but I look past all your past and try not to feel shamed


for the woman that broke you

and the way that I spoke to you



last night...



and how I have become
what you always thought I'd be
Not through my actions, but by that way that I'm seen

And there is no escape from this lucid cage
that you fixed me in along with every other
****** up ***** with a pretty face*


But I'll just wait







'till the beeping stops and hope you break my walls
Because I just want to be the girl that still loves you when it falls

I was left to ponder the sand
Where my feet disappeared one toenail at a time
Will my body someday be the sand for the feet of my great grand descendants?
And am I walking on the shells of my great grand ancestors?

— The End —
