Hello?

Your voice came through the phone.

I'm sorry.

That's a lie.
I know you,
Your games.
Your tears.
They're that of a crocodile.

And you left me with a mark.
A bruise on my right cheek,
Where you struck me.

You say it into the phone again.
I don't answer.
You lied.
You broke me.
Broke us.

And still, after I've hung up,
You say into your phone,

Hello?
