Free Cee Left Alone By the Telephone

LEFT ALONE BY A TELEPHONE I called you up on the phone today But the operator said you moved away You left me half past the month of May And parting was too great a price to pay I was greeted not by your cheery voice After the buttons besieged me with sorrow The start of May was a time to rejoice But then came the middle of May’s tomorrow I am now stranded and straddling sadness In a world without my woman of yesterday May was a month of maudlin madness Thirty-one days that said you couldn’t stay I awake now on a pillow I refuse to wash Silk that still bears the stains of your lipstick You were pert, pretty and oh so posh But now I’m left lonely and oh so lovesick I tried the number that used to be yours But the operator said words I cared not to hear You used to gladly do my errands and chores and now that pillow is witness to my every tear © 2012….copyright..PHREEPOETREE...~free cee!~ left
