She called again
Drunk as usual
Sobbing into the receiver about her dreams
And happier times left long ago
How her steps forward have been in the wrong direction
And her heart is broken in two
She takes another gulp
Her sweet tears mixed with the alcohol
Time is not making this any easier for me
No matter what I still love the man I hate so much
She called because she needed a friend
She never asked too much from me
She fell so hard but never had the novelty of rising high above
After she calms down she tells me everything will be all right
As if I was the one needing convincing
With a small sigh of relief she hangs up
Leaving me confused on the other end
Unsure if I should have told her
It may have been largely her fault
