she felt exsposed
even more revealed
she need to cry
but didnt know how to feel
she was happy at one moment
and sad the next
she didnt know what to do
everything was complex
it tokk one ohine call
to break her apart
it ruined it all
and crushed her heart
it wasnt a promis
or even a guarentee
but she thought people were honest
she thought she could beleive
it was just one more let down
to add up to them all
if only she hadnt
answerd that phone call

just about my mom. i spent all this time typing up my poems for her and she couldnt even stop by to visit for five minutes. i just wanted to see her and give her my poems. i tried to get a hold of her all day but eachtime i got the answering machine. then she called me and told me she would be right over.. 5 hours later she called and once again made up an excuse and said sorry holly but i cant come over
