Waiting by the Phone
Sioni Collins


The clock ticks slow
In this empty room
You've walked away
But I still assume
That any moment now
You'll call my name
But silence falls
And it's not
The same
I wait and hope
You'll understand
Dreaming of
The night we planned
But every ring
Just brings me pain
I wonder if I'm waiting in vain
Waiting by the phone
Hoping you call
Counting every minute
Feeling so small
Will you come back?
Or am I alone?
Just me in this silence
Waiting by the phone
The moonlight shines
Through the window pain
I hear footsteps
But it's just the rain
I keep the light open
Holding on tight
Praying
You'll die me late tonight
Waiting by the fall
Lost in the fall
Counting every heartbeat
Through it all
Will you come back
Or leave me on my own?
Just me in the silence
Waiting all along
And if you never call
I'll let you go
But tonight
I can't say no
