Hold for Pain

                           Hold For Pain




I began dialing, nearly stopping at every number
How was I to tell you?
That this never worked out?
Our relationship took a 180
Spinning so fast
Can I even read the numbers?




I try to dial
Listen to the rings
2... 3... 4...
Every time you answer I hang up
Another call
4... 5... 6...
Hold for pain




A face to face
How we should've done this
I should've asked if I could come over
For our weekly Saterday rituals
Now I'm telling you something that'll harm you
But can I tell you through the speaker?




You finally picked up
But you're so busy
errands, chores, homework
This is so important
You say to either call later
or hold
Hold for pain



I finally tell you
A question of why?
I think we're disconnected
I say we could still be friends
A hang up and dial tone
I begin dialing again



I try to dial
Listen to the rings
2... 3... 4...
Every time you don't answer I hang up
Try another call
4... 5... 6...
Hold for pain
