Linger

I have your number
if you feel the need to call
but you don't seem to bother
with me at all

Too far away
can never find the time
a few brief seconds
to hear my voice complain

About this strange world
that we live in
that only seems to conspire
to make our lives dimmer

In the dark
fumbling for switches
relationships are hit or misses
mine is a ship that has sunk

Or was I drunk?
to make this environment more pleasing
to put away any solid reasoning
not to check out and leave

Beneath some stone marker
while counting your friends
on one solitary finger
if the pain is so great,why linger?

Too eager,too meager
to be put through this wringer
no family, a calamity
no one to understand me
