A Phone Call

You promised me you were just a phone call away;
That not matter what, you'd listen to what I'd say-
But now you're gone; my heart left so broken;
By all the words that are still left unspoken.

I need to tell you things I've kept bottled up inside;
I need to let the tears out, now that I can no longer cry.
You were always there for me, to wipe tears off my face-
What am I to do without your sweet, loving embrace?

I reach for the phone, your number stuck in my head;
I dial blindly, trying not to recall what they had said.
"He's gone. I'm sorry. There was nothing we could do,
But he left a note and it's written for you."

Reading it over the phone, I broke down and cried.
I just couldn't believe that he could ever die.
"Babe, I love you, but this world's too tough.
I'm sorry to leave you, to deal with all this stuff.

I know it's not fair, but my life was too cruel;
Please don't think badly, for I am the fool.
Just remember the way I used to be.
Please, move on, just for the sake of me."

The rest of the words slurred as I spun around the room.
I felt like I was encased inside a closed tomb.
My knees got weak and then I fell to the floor;
I looked up and all I saw was the bedroom door.

I don't remember falling asleep, but it hit me when I woke-
The ringing in my ears was the words they had spoke.
"No!" I screamed as I stumbled and fell hard.
I knew that my life would be permanently scarred.

Getting up slowly, using the bed as a crutch,
I went to grab my phone, but it was cold to the touch.
Crying now, I couldn't believe what I had heard;
Trying to remember the words that were slurred.

"He said that he wanted you to have better friends-
It isn't your fault that his life came to an end."
I tried to believe him, but the effort, in vain.
My best friend was gone; now there's pain.

Hurting are my sides; tired were my eyes-
I never had cried so much, I realized.
It's truly over; I could believe it at all-
It all ended with A Phone Call.
