and a dial that I hear in your tone,
so familiar and so welcoming,
unawakening since i've been waiting,
left so empty and uninspired,
haven't picked up where we ended,
where I left myself laying,
til I found you I didn't feel desolation,
all I hear is the same old words,
same old hollow speech,
that I hold you to,
I felt so new, felt so used,
I watched you with discretion.
