death of the phone call

young folks

🖤

coffee

you give him time and affection
You laugh at his jokes, stomach achin
Fake when you come, taking a pill
He leaves when its done
You forgive when he doesn’t get home
Tell your friends you don’t really mind being alone
You are the one who can change him, satiate him 

But I’m a giver, he says ‘me too’ 
He is hungry for someone but doesn’t know who
I’m a giver or am I a fool
He forgets the words so I teach him to say ‘I love you’

He turns around when you’re naked 
He says ‘we should be friends’ while you’re changing
You nod, half-dressed, he says its for the best,
And ‘you know you’re really not like the rest’ 
So we part our lips for the taking
But if these lips could open they’d scream,
‘I wanna love you like I’m raining, like I don’t need saving’

But I’m a giver and he’s immune
He’s hungry for someone but doesn’t know who
I’m a giver and he’s the moon
And I reach and I reach and I forgive the girl who loved you.
