I am trying to dial into your eyes,
make a connection,
but my thoughts are clumsy digits
pressing wrong buttons;
Fouling the numbers
I can't crack your code.

and followed its path.
But it just lies there in the distance
untouched
and you are visibly unmoved.
As usual, you hang up,
leave my heart-phone dangling -

Take care,
