A Time of Words

Connection Cut

Pick up the phone

I want to come home

So I can leave the outside for shelter

Before it snow

Before the blossoms bloom

Before I run out of fuel

Driving away from home

Because you didn't pick up the phone

One number

To dial

That's all it takes

So I can remember

I am a member

Of the family

Not a cult

That makes me feel a bolt

Of pain

For my punishment

Damaging the brain

You can still save me

Its not that hard

The answer your looking for is right underneath your nose

On the tip of your tongue

You can see

Just

Pick up the phone

Do you want me home?

I'll remain guessing

Thinking about all the 'what ifs'

Because YOU didn't pick up the phone

Even when I was the one to call home

Instead of you

It was probably an emergency:

Suicide

Kidnapped

Homicide

Where

.............

Were

..........

You?

And now the connection is cut
