The Call
A lonesome car ride, east from the "Burgh"mindlessly traveling, more on my mind than travels
I've not yet left, even as You shrink into darkness
hair amiss.
You turn in the rear view, the glow of a finished cigarette
drifting through the night
to land cold upon the stone.
I know now what it is to be cold
I have felt my embers fade
I have lost my glow
I have been tossed from those lips,
lips which I once embraced.
Nights alone with Your voice mail
The only voice I have heard in some time
Nobody picks up a discarded cigarette
I know now what it is to be cold
