Love Hurts

I waited for the phone to ring

And it did...

I wanted it to be you

And it was...

I wanted you to say you loved me

And you didn’t...

I wanted you to tell me Happy Birthday

But you forgot...

You told me your good news

I listened...

You and your wife just bought a house

I congratulated you...

You wouldn’t let me talk

I kept quiet...

Tears streamed down my face

I was hurt...

While I sobbed in loneliness

You counted your lucky stars

So much pressure and anxiety

You said you feel...

Against a rock and a hard place

You complained...

Always you, you, you

Never once thinking

About me...

I am melting

Meaningless to you

I can’t stand to hear your voice

It hurts too much...

Putting the phone down

I hit end...
