I call you and all it does is ring
Man, that has to be the most lonely sound
The sound that reminds me that you’re not around
It’s been 3 days of ringing, constant ringing
You won’t talk to me and I don’t know why
If it’s over, at least say goodbye
4th ring, it’s the machine, can’t stand to leave another message
I can’t talk to it and make things alright
I messed up once,  I thought we settled that fight
I stay on the line just to hear your voice
God, I am so sorry, I love you so much, forgive me
Without you I’d be lost, don’t know where I’d be
Beep, time for another message, don’t know what to say
It’s me again, just wanted to talk, call me back
At least tell me what’s wrong, can’t you cut me some slack
I hang it up to try and go on with my life
But I can’t, I miss you, I feel so alone
So I go back, again, and I pick up the phone

this was really sad...
i agree with you that ringing has to be the most hated sound.. its so lonely.
keep trying and maybe things might work out.

Ringing is not only the sound of loneliness, but also the sound of your reaching out and being cast aside.  How sad.
Well written.

Actually, I wrote this yesterday, called yesterday, and worked things out so everything ended up OK.

Nice one keoni. I liked this a lot. I been there, the only problem is that it's not her voice on the answering machine. Just some robotic hag of a voice......annoying.

I know what you mean Dopey, but when you miss them that much, it's enough to hold you over, pathetic isn't it? Thanx for the response Dopey and Poet.
