being needed less is a pain that follows you
stretches and bounces as it lands at your feet
soon you learn how to dribble it

” someday” you said, ” we’ll all lose contact”
is that really the only option?
I get quiet when it hurts
but I still ask ” you think it has
to be that way?”

You are empty airwaves
I am an open phone line
I would call you
but I have a feeling you don’t want that
