These Are Simply Words

These are just simply
Words on a page
Like telephone numbers 
Or dates with an age
Yet like errors and answers 
The lines always will fall
Past messages and meaning
That are behind all it all
My marker in the measure
Isn't for a call "Not at Home"
With the windows not open
Or for the room's all alone 
The question and guesses 
Are best asked with no test 
Simply left with the reasons
Like "Who'll You Know Next"
My easier and my softer is
Not for a bed with post
Like it's social and settled
For all the likes in a boast
If an always is never easy 
Then the lessons "Your turn"
For the eyes with no shadows 
In all the embers that burn
In an every with an always
Since we're here always there
With no guesses in a "give up"
For the mere that's a care
It's the many for a moments
Past the clear with a sigh
Like just three for no reason
Or simply one for goodbye's
