Telephone
December 2, 2000
Ring, Ring, Ring.
I press the talk button,
Nothing but a dial tone.
I waited all day,
Stayed at home,
Near the phone.
I beeped you a million times,
Left voice massages.
The sun fell over the horizon.
The moon is high and full.
I still waited by the phone.
Everything's still,
Everyone's asleep.
I still wait for your call.
I�m afraid and sad.
You never failed to call me
Back before.
All the worst possible things
Run through my mind.
Are you in the hospital?
Are you sick?
Was there a fire?
But deep in my heart,
I know you not going to call.
You don�t care at all.
You saw my beeps,
And your Caller ID.
But your too busy talking to her.
I pick up the phone,
And answer quickly into the microphone.
It�s my aunt,
Who�s calling for my mom.
Tears roll down my checks.
She won�t brake your heart,
She�s very smart.
You�ll never call,
We�ll never talk.
My eyes are weary,
But also teary.
Please,
Forgive me for not being cheery.
I wish you�d call,
Give me a chance to talk.
Ring, Ring, Ring.
