Belinda is Determined to be Sad

Belinda has called my phone three times today
I have not responded, even texting her back
because she is always miserable and woeful
conversations are one-sided, and depressing
I had forgotten this when I reestablished contact
it did not take me long to remember
now I am stuck if I answer the phone
I do sometimes, when I am cleaning
so she feels listened to, getting my points in heaven
for only an angel would intentionally listen
she is melancholy and sad, and determined to remain so
