Telephone rings Announcing your name Caller ID pings This is so insane Selfish acts of subterfuge Leaving us both confused Despite the tightening noose Calling you is what I choose- I can’t let go “Hi, how was your day? What’s that you say? Have I learned by now How to play well with others? What? No? I don't have to bother?” (Your words stabbing like a shiv) “You have your own life to live You have your own love to give- Just not to me?” Somber thoughts of divorce ******* all my vital force This will be such a blow To the people we know As mute as a mime Losing track of real time Zombifying my day Hunting for quick getaway- But no such luck What shall I do thus ~Telephone rings If we fail to repair us? ~Announcing your name Lament inevitable loss? ~Caller ID pings Calculate incalculable cost? ~This is so insane I’m a solid secular success ~Selfish acts of subterfuge I’m a massive mental mess ~Leaving us both confused At least the former pays the bills ~Despite the tightening noose No use in crying when milk spills- ~Calling you is what I choose What’s done is done ~I can’t let go
