He calls her every night
He calls her every night.
A quick conversation. Never lasts long.
The memory of it lasts longer.
He calls her every night.
Nothing in particular. Just to see how things are going.
If she misses him at all.
He calls her every night.
His words shoot right through her.
Her emotions shatter each and every time.
He calls her every night.
She never gives in. No matter how hard he tries.
Or how much she wants to.
He calls her every night.
Not to bring back what’s lost,
but to remember what once was.
He calls her every night.
The silence gets louder.
As each phone call passes, she tries to forget.
He calls her one last time.
No words are left.
He breathes. She breathes.
The feelings fade away..?
(2006)
I wrote this when my ex and I had just broken up, but we still had feelings for each other, and we didn't want to actually let go yet.....
