someone new

smoke rings to the light of a television screen
it's happened before
and tonight it's the same theme

woozy eyed with phone in hand
in vain.
without answer, my calls and heart's demands.

so let me hang or give me a sign
in love it seems
i'm def dumb and blind

is it simply for amusement that you keep me around
like a wound up toy soldier
marching just to be knocked down

in our "love" is written the cruelest of songs
but it's ours so i'll hum it
until someone new comes along
