sweet talk

May 11, 2009 15:13

i guess it's acceptable. mostly i feel lonely - late night computer use has become far less entertaining, and every IM, email or text message slowly bleeds out the little bit of certainty i had left. technology has a way of delivering subtle messages to the most accessible portions of a person's life.

speak dumb like every other one,
"don't want to let you down,"
"i'd rather let you fall apart,"
and so you back off.
a bit less obvious.

oh, you forgot I called.
won't take it personal personal honey
i know you've just been busy
or you need to be alone
well you can call me if you're bored
i'll sing a song low, over the telephone,
in lower decibels so you can hear it and hear it.
