MYSTERY MAN...

Finally you called

After many silent years

I thought you were gone forever

Like a good day does

We only get it once in life

Then it goes until forever

But why did you call

To mock me

To torture my heart

To awaken my soul

Why did you call me?

 

Your raspy voice behind the receiver

It causes my heart to stop beating

And butterflies fill my stomach

I can see my hands get shaky

And the palms begin to get sweaty

My mouth runs dry of words

For my breathe takes a sudden break

Maybe to hear you speak

Or to hear your heavy breathe

From the other end of the line

When you call me baby....

You used to call daily

Then you called every forth night

....then you stopped

And i began to miss you

I could have called back

But i quivered every time

My hands would shake

Then my heart would freeze

Then my chest became heavy

And i became too weak

I often dropped it at that

But why did you stop

I missed the goodnight kisses

They made my nights full

They made my nights easy

You knew how to tuck me in

There was never a bedtime story

But a silent wish

You would look into my eyes

And shut them with your hands

Then you would kiss them

And say goodnight my love

 But why did you stop

My heart yearned for mornings

When my mail would be full

You never got tired to write

Every day a different note

Something to lift my spirits

Something to carry my day

The days never got better

When you would call me sunshine

Or say i smelled more like lavenders

And you would hold me forever

 

Then you stopped kissing goodnight

My nights were ripped apart

My heart torn to pieces

No sleep, no peace

My eyes welled with tears

They would flow till i sleep

I began to live without you

But everyday i still waited

Maybe you just forgot

But it was days, months, years

Then forever you left

My mornings were scattered

You were not there to fill it

I stopped watching the sun rise

It meant nothing without you

I stood under heavy storms

And let the rains beat me

Just so my sorrows would drown

But afterwards i would be cold

And you were not there

To tell me it was going to be ok

Or hold me tight on your bosom

Finally you called

I feel like a truck just hit me

I feel like strangling you to death

But my heart stops

At the sound of your raspy voice

I lose ground of my own self

I want to grab you to myself

So you never go again

I am wounded to the heart

And weakened to the soul

Mystery man, why did you call?
