Beep-Beep-Beep

(*dial*)
(Beep-Beep-Beep)
Was it you on the line,
when I heard that busy tone,
A constant blaring reminder,
of loneliness on my phone,
that Beep-Beep-Beep,
A timer within it's own right,
  What was it you were saying,
and to whom was it going,
  Those kind of questions --- never asked,
but always needing --- knowing,
  Was it someone else today
with whom your face was playing
  Or ontop of someone's lovely couch,
that you were naked, laying,
  I never ask myself these
my heart content with charms,
for I knew you weren't on the
other line, because you were in my arms.
