Silent Phone

You messaged me so many times a day Now my phone is silent We made plans that went on forever Now they fade at the edge Your fleeting attention Left me standing in the doorway I thought you meant it I thought you meant it I checked the screen again And nothing came through No more little crumbs No more me and you My phone is silent My phone is silent I am not waiting Not for your call I’m disappointed But I’m okay My phone is silent And I still stand tall I kept the time for you Like it was sacred Now the clock ticks loud In an empty room I had a whole tomorrow Pressed in my hands You let it slip Like sand through my fingers I checked the screen again And nothing came through No more little crumbs No more me and you My phone is silent My phone is silent I am not waiting Not for your call I’m disappointed But I’m okay My phone is silent And I still stand tall Maybe you were never Built for staying Maybe I was just Too quick to believe Still, I won’t beg For one more minute If you come back now I might be gone My phone is silent My phone is silent I am not waiting Not for your call I’m disappointed But I’m okay My phone is silent And I still stand tall
