Rediscovered 006

I stare accusingly at the phone
As though, somehow, it is to blame
The source of my turmoil,
Confusion and pain.

I know you cannot read my mind
But I send you signals down the line
While I promise myself that I will not
Let you waste more of my time.

I think some people see no point
In the small issues of trust
The seemingly insignificant;
If you promise to call: you must.

I wonder if you are somewhere
Lying, dying, in a street,
The victim of a mugging
From those no one would wish to meet.

I decided the things you say to me
Must mostly be untrue
Your love is fair weather
And when convenient to you.

I stop expecting courtesies;
Explanations of your omission,
I'm going to stop accusing you
Or making special provision.

I conclude that you're no good for me,
Your kind of love's not great.
I hope some day you'll find someone
You appreciate.

I might take time forgetting you,
But when loneliness does attack
I'll remember the hours spent waiting for you
And never look back!
