5:15
It's 5 in the evening
At the 15, my mom will be calling
With all the love in the world, she'll want to keep me
keep me speaking
keep me believing
keep me being
Yet, 5:16 comes around
And like a hound,
I walk towards the sound
yet all is silent
I wonder why
So with a sigh, I call my mom
Yet no one answers
No one speaks
No one keeps me believing
No one is there saying I need to be being
So with that sigh
I go lie down
It's 7 in the morning
At the 15, my mom will be calling
With all the love in the world, she'll want to keep me
keep me speaking
keep me believing
keep me being
Yet, 7:16 comes around
In confusion, I feel some delusion
I send a text
a lonely text
And no one answers
No one speaks the words she says each week
So in confusion
I go on with my allusion
It's 5 in the evening
at the 15, someone is calling!
With relief,
I jump to my feet
I run to the phone
Yet I find myself alone
As I listen to the words,
I hear no one
For I am alone
You see
My mom won't be calling
She's not speaking
She's not believing
She's not being
Where's my mom believing?
My life, my father's wife
She won't be calling
I still hear her say
my dear
You will never cease to be my life
my son believing
