I have no idea
why I'm suprised
you couldn't be
bothered to call
on my birthday.
Not this year.
Or any of the
last six, either.
This is nothing new -
but birthdays are
supposed to be
everything the rest
of the year cannot -
birthday wishes...
or something
And yet, the one
thing I wanted
more than anything
was to hear your
voice drifting through
wires - too good at
keeping us apart
one more time.
