Dont String Me Along

Our phones have been cut off
Our string broke
The last call for lonely hearts
Was the last call received

With new string and tin cans
Wax for a clearer sound
Only three feet away
Her voice as clear as a bell

Now we text one another
I miss her voice from yesterday 
Holding hands giggling
Only three feet away

Her voice so sweet
This last call from two
Happy Hearts 
Only three feet away

On Two Old String Phones

Contest: The last call for lonely hearts
