Don't Call

It's not that I don't have words to say
I just don't want to be the one that speaks them
I'd rather keep them secret
So I'll rest my head on the glory of this sorrow
I know it's hard to swallow
But tomorrow, we'll start anew

And I remember all the lines I thought that I'd forgotten
"Your only flaw is that you're flawless"
I'm so full of shit, I'm surprised you bought it
But to say that I don't care is more or less astounding
Because I wrote an entire poem about us drowning
Wasn't that enough?

Now I'm haunted by all these holes found in my armor
And if my heart beats any harder
I will lose it
But, congratulations
I didn't know
You two had made things so official
Just don't call me when it fizzles
In fact
Don't call me at all
