Wake-Up Call

Wake-Up Call

A Poem by Erin
"

Another one of the old songs, couple of years old at this point.

"

Hey Everybody in the big city.
Hey Everybody just hold your pity.
Hey Everybody just leaves us alone and I'll leave you alone and I'll leave you alone.
Hey I never call me and I never pick up the phone, I never pick up the phone.
 

Well,
Pick up, pick up, pick up the phone.
Answer.
Pick up, pick up, pick up the phone.
It's your wake up call.
 

It's a splash of cold water
Like that girl in the halter,
While you're in that turtleneck.

 

Its the snow on the ground,
While the kids splash around,

In your inground pool.

 

Its that feeling you get
While his hands on her neck
And your close enough to smell his cologne.

And it makes me, want him.

The third wheel's single
And I feel no need to mingle
Because my sights are on him.

Locked and Loaded, ready to go.
One thing missing--
Attraction.

I'm clueless you joker
In this game of poker,
Or is it russian roulette?
But we're playing,
We're playing,
With rules I just dont get.
And I need to know--
Are you in?

Do you fold?
Will you hold

me?
Through the night?
Clear or Cloudy?

But these rhyming words
won't get heard
through my thick skin.
So I need to crack open,
And i need to reach out,

And I need to let you in.

I need to let you in.
I need to let you in.
