she's crossing off the details and dusting off the picture frames. it's saturday. she's been waiting for the phone to ring (she'll be waiting all night) and it doesnt matter who's on the line, as long as the voice works, but you're too scared of what you might say.

So: you fake it out on paper, hypothetical and safer, while she's thumbing through her catalogues picking birthday cards and finger scars. I guess she's lonelier than you.

and if this box is empty, go out and find another one, whith a prettier design, and greater depth inside, and a lid to keep it all from spilling out.

you could fill it up with letter from back when things were better and both of you had blinders on and read storybooks together, and you pretended awat all the bad things.

now, she disconnects her phone after the second ring. and all the drama you could swallow could never check your ego. I guess no one's lonlier than you.
