JEREMIAD ON ROMANCE: "CAN I CALL YOU?" BY MATYR

Do you remember when I called you

How you declined my call and blocked my number,

You didn't have time for my calls, right

It wasn't worth it, was it?

You said I was disturbing your peace

That I was annoying you with my useless calls

My once beloved, miserable you called me

And done with me you said.

Now you want to call me

To apologize for the mistakes you once denied

You want to call and say you still love me

And you want us back together, right?

Can you call me?

I don't care how you'll take this,

But hey, I'll be real with you,

No! Noo! Please don't call my phone.

Noo, You be hurt but face the truth 

Don't call me, I won't answer calls from you 

Just text me those your lies

I don't want to hear them anymore.

The poet persona returns the carelessness of a woman towards him. The speaker sometimes ago wishes to call her but she declines. Yet, the voice denies loving this lady because she hurt him while he was in love.
