Defeat

I'm trying to figure out what to do.
Should I push everything and call you?
You'll screen it for sure
then you'll text me back.
I'm trying to figure out why you can't use a house phone
and call me back.
If the cell phone costs too much,
wouldn't that be a logical, practical act?
Questions in my mind have me wondering all about you.
Does a mini falling out really mean that we're through?
I've missed your company for such a long ass time.
I'm not in the market to give up
or waste your time.

Can we stop playing the kiddie games
where silences know best?
What happened to communication--
Is everything a drama-fest?
I spoke my mind,
and you got to speak yours too.
Should I have second thoughts
about wanting to contact you?
It's not about trying to isolate
or point out the faults in you.
Why can't we come together above trivial shit?
When all is silent, I just want my old friend.

I know you're used to being all alone.
I'm tired of the isolation
so I'm going to pick up this phone.
This is a one-time shot
and if you don't respond
I'll take my pink slip of departure
and I'll promise to move on.
