Drunk Calling

The blank look of desperation
The mournful cry of a dying love.
Your words reach out
into my chest and tear apart my heart.
Everything that you have said today
hurts every part of my being
I did nothing wrong
I don't deserve this
Yet you call me, you call me
Drunk as can be and you yell
Yell out everything
Every secret
Every emotion
In that same monotone screech
How that is possible, I have no idea
But you do it.
You scream at me
You yell out everything that is wrong with me
And yet, I don't hang up
I won't hang up.
I would listen to your words, just to hear your voice
Just to hear your pain. 
I did nothing to deserve what you said,
Half of which, isn't true
Your just a filthy liar
And I don't love you.
