Disconnected

Bullets can miss if you let them.

But if you get too excited while holding it up to your head,

Squeezing it tight,

Trying not to drop it in front of your friends,

You could accidentally pull it,

On your mom’s birthday,

She gets the call.

Laid out right in front of your best-friend, his girlfriend & your girlfriend.

I found out we were cousin’s just two months ahead,

At the family reunion,

& you’re already dead.

I used to lie with your jacket around me,

Or call your phone just to hear voicemail,

& one day I called

& it said this number has been

disconnected.
