Hello, Hello?

Hello, Hello?


In the midst of the cold, cold, lonely night, 
Where the wolves howl and growl and bring fright.
As I lay down cozily in my warm bed,
My phone rang from the table, placed near my head.

Questioningly, I sat up and reached for the device,
Checked who was calling, then my hopes began to rise.
"It was her! It was her!" I said while I was dearly joyed.
So without a doubt I answered, so she won't feel annoyed.

"Hello,  hello?" I greeted with full of energy,
But silence filled the air as if there's a mercenary.
And then I heard sobs and I immediately knew,
She's in great pain again, and there's nothing I can do.

I wonder how I endured listening her cry,
Even though I know who's always the reason why.
It was her boyfriend once again, I'm sure,
'Coz no one will hurt a girl that's pure.

With a heavy heart, I listened to her hiccup,
As she wails about their fourth break up.
About how she can't live without him,
About how she wanted to be with him.

I tried to talk her out and told her to stop,
Stop crying and be logical about the problem atop.
I told her to try to fix what they had,
For a three year relationship shouldn't end so sad.

She stopped crying and said I was right,
That she should understand and continue to fight.
With a calm, raspy voice, she said her farewell,
As I clutched my chest like a broken piece of shell.

If only she chose to be by my side,
She would never cry, and I would never hide.
The hidden feelings I kept for long,
Now forgotten and covered by my sad song.

So I lied down in my warm, comfy bed,
As I stare at the ceiling, filled with dread.
I wonder when this pain of mine will end,
"Well, maybe never, 'coz I'm her bestfriend."

And as the evening passed in a snails' pace,
I wiped all the tears that streamed my face.
And as the wolves of the winter howled in the mountain,
I knew I wasn't alone, because I knew they're in pain.
