The Last Try
She said, "I just want to move away from here"...
I said, "Well, how do you think that makes me feel"?
She said, "Well don't take it personally".
And I answered that there was no other way to "take it".
I said, "That really makes me feel bad."
She said, "Why do you feel that way"?
I told her that I feel I have no family,
She said that she was sick of hearing that.
I said, "I'd like more than just a quick phone call...
Every few weeks, with an 'I love you' tacked on the end of the
Conversation for good measure."
She said, "Well, I just won't say it anymore then."
I said, "I'd like a sister that I can do things with,
Be close to, have fun with..."
She said, "I have a life to live... and
So do you.
I poured out my heart to her,
So she'd know how I feel.
She hung up the phone angry and defensive,
As I quietly closed the door of my heart to her
For
the very
last
time.
