Keeping my heart company

by orange_4_m - Sagittarius

When the world weighed heavily on my shoulders,
and the sun somehow disappeared.
I could always count on you
to continously wipe away my lonely tears.
I could just pick up the telephone,
and within minutes youd be here.

But I didnt recognize your voice
when I called you on the phone.
Sadly, I said I had the wrong number,
and let the receiver go.
Counting all the teardrops,
I wallowed in my sadness alone.

I dont understand why you make promises
you dont intend to keep.
If you told me that youd always be there,
why are you so distant from me?
Was all that 'I love you' bullshit
only there to keep my heart company?

Today, when the world weighed heavily,
and the sun faded to a hazy gloom.
I picked up the telephone
and dialed the only number I knew.
Funny how the teardrops began
When I found out it was you.

Reason for writing:

    Does the ending sound right? I couldnt figure it out.
