She knows when you call and why 
sometimes she’ll pick up 
other times she’s tired 

of your leftover 
emotions 
and clichéd situations 

all those 
entanglements 
that she used to desire 

she wants to be proven wrong 
wants to know there’s still 
a hope coming with the dawn 

after too many late nights 
of never getting it right 
leaving what she wanted 
years & miles behind 

one day she won’t be there 
after everything 
no one take that from her 

when she’s finally had enough 
the world will be denied 
an oasis of calm 

and heaven will be 
that much less 
banal
