Helpline Operator

 "[...]

I'm the helpline operator & I'll spare you the time.

I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine.

Put your tongue into the mouthpiece

And whisper in my ear.
Admit to me
the things you can't admit to yourself.
Admit to me & no one else

Everybody's looking for someone

to tell them what they want to hear.
Everybody's looking for true love
To help them feel what they cannot feel.

I'm the helpline operator, can you spare me the time.
I'm the intimate stranger. Your problems will be mine.

True love will come."
