The phone is ringing, but nobody is home
I check instant messanger and you are not on
one word answers are all I get from you
what is wrong? If only I knew
no response is coming, from your blank stare
are you trying to pretend, that I am not there?
No, I see you, in all your splendor
I will always love you, but please remember
I am not with you, so please do not try
Despite my affection, I'm a one woman guy
if She and I were not together, things would be fine
but as it is, I am thankful she's mine
I do not understand, why she is better than me
but I guess we do not have to agree
It is something for your character, the road that you take
but even knowing this, I dont know what choice I should make
do I stay and wait, for you to be through
or should I just turn around, and forget I knew you
Please do not forget me, but please dont be sad
some of the times with you, were the best I've had
but to Her I am faithful, and this will not change
I did not mean, to let myself so far out of range
I am sorry I may have led you on
but babe, forgive me, when I say move on
Author notes
This is, obviously, about being shut out.
There is some personal qualities to the poem here. My mind's version of something that is going on. I being the person being shut out, the response being what COULD be going on in "his" mind. I hope it is as sweet as I tried to put it, then again, this could all be in my imagination. All the same....I'm being "shut out"
