one call

A piercing call has reached my phone

Screeching in my ears

And calling up a thought that I have hung up

Worse yet I have let you go to voice mail

Your calls ring out in my brain

Telling me you didn't want this

And that you did want it

But I don't know

Your a complex machine

You have to many wires

I can't follow how they are strung

Your functions are endless

And I could have done anything with you

And yet I could not turn you on

And press your buttons

Or maybe I just didn't want to

I was to scared that if you were on

I would take you out and lose you

Because I have lost many things before

And whenever I get used to something

It powers off or is lost or is broken

All this from one call

I'd say it's quite a feat

To call this much out

From the past messages of my mind

Your obviously programed in my memory

Your a favorite a charished contact

And i miss your not so frequent calls
