Magpie 

I waited by the phone

For the call that did not come

I waited all alone

But you did not come home

An explanation never came

As to why you went away

I whispered out your name

But why you did not stay

Alluded me so long

It ate about my soul

Until it left nothing 

filling up the hole

So many years have passed

But that call's still on my mind

Why couldn't you have called

Why could you not be kind
