One phone call

One phone call it would have taken
To tell me you were mistaken

One phone call for 30 seconds
To never call me for another second

But you chose silence and ghosting
Becoming the torchbearer of hurt hosting

You’d say, I’m not practical
If it comes with ruthlessness, I’m not, for real

No one could beg you to stay
Begging was never my forte 

Coz you were never there in the first place
I was a mere mud on your shoe lace

The one that was way too nice.
Whose goodness was lice to your life’s spice.
