Don't call

So bluntly you write, don't call
then you have the nerve to tell me to take care
as if you really care
as if my feelings mean one iota to someone as callous as you

just this time last year
we were making plans
smiling
and making love

now we are two worlds apart
while remaining less than a day apart in actual travel time
how could you be so cold towards someone
that once made your heart skip a beat

i don't call
because i respect your wishes
even though i know that you're dying inside
and i'm dying right along beside you

but i'd rather die than call someone
whose voice sends chills down my spine
the coldness, the tone, and the voice are entirely foreign
as well as the feigned concern for my welfare

don't worry
i woudln't call and mess up your planned misery
nor would i call to brighten my day
because calling would only cause you to tell me not to call again
