Dial Up

Can’t keep my eyes open

Long enough

Heavy shroud pulled down

Days face night

And I’m gone

A call echos from afar

Dial in, ring me up

The bell shouts

Sleep it off

Brush the surface of habit

A stain to wash away

Invent the deception

A gaze you can’t evade

Leave it up it you, can’t be

Leave it up to me and see

From a window looking in

Ember, ash, and dust

See the sky

Peek out

A thread tethered on both ends

Clouds suspended from

It snaps and I fall

Dial in, ring me up
