Long-Distance Melodies

there are too many words that we can say
spoken over long-distance melodies
casual greetings turn to breathless goodbyes 
while you ponder your heart wanders

forgiveness spread thick like honey on bread
washed down with truth and reasoning
for what you put in and I got out
zero credits in that account

there are too many words that we can say
spoken over long-distance melodies
a call that drops without return
text open to interpretation
