The Call

by Ashley Daniels   Jul 10, 2005


Last night I called you
To find out if the rumors were true
The rumors about you and her
That made me feel so down and blue
You knew it was me calling
Cause you answered with a cheery
‘Hey Ash, what’s up? What’s new?’
But you knew there was something wrong
Cause I could not answer you right away
And when I finally did
It was just a quiet squeak of a ‘hey’
You asked me if I was okay, and what was going on
I could not bring myself to tell you though
It was you that was making me sad
I just quietly answered that I would be okay
That it was something totally stupid
And I should not even care anyways
You started getting the hint
That I really did not want to talk about it
So you finally changed the subject
To the one thing that I dread
“So have you heard yet, about me and Courtney?’
I did not know what to say
Cause everything I could think of
Would give myself away
I finally said ‘Yup…’ and ‘I am happy for you’
‘But I really don’t think, she’s the right one for you’
For quite some time we just sat there breathing
Neither one of us wanted to say it
But we both knew one of us had to
‘I know you still like me, and that you have feelings’
‘But don’t you remember, you broke up with ME!?’
As I sat there listening to him
Telling me that I was the one who caused all the pain
I finally started to realize
You know what, yeah I am the one to blame
But it was getting late, so I had to say goodbye
I think he knew that I was crying
Cause he said, ‘Are you gonna be alright?’
Answering his final question a yes I said goodbye
‘ I hope she’s the one for you and that she wont mess up’
‘Cause you do not deserve anymore pain…you have been put through enough.’
And with that I hung up the phone and cried myself to sleep
Finally realizing the mistake I had made…

    Yes I can be truthful, you write from the heart,you're telling your own story on a piece of paper instead of making it seem like it's other people (that's what I do) and I like that. Some others may not understand them right off though. I"ve been reading a good amount of them,lol. I like what I'm reading though..so I think I might add you to my favorites. You go a little wild with the rhyming sometimes though,you rhyme in one place but not the other..some people write like that though. We all have different ways of writing I guess. 5/5
