Blank Pages

I stare at the blank page 
And wonder where to begin 
Since I have run out of words of dismay 
My heart gives me ink no more 
I’d die to hear your voice again 
And I wait for hours on end 
But you kill me when you do call 
You talk as if you dialed a stranger 
I’m left more bereft with every conversation 
You trying to phase me out 
Me crawling to get back in 
I go seeking bigger troubles 
Then the one that already besieges me 
The “I miss you” means nothing to you 
For it seems now that I was the only one there 
You left long before
Throwing me a casual adieu
