Yah-nee-see
He tells me
That his mother says my name
when she looks into your eyes
And that you've been losing sleep,
my face haunts you late at night
Each time he seeks my touch
your walls, they sympathize
For if you had the power,
you would change your name to mine
Consequences, inevitable
the moment you decide
To swallow your insecurities,
fall into that disguise
Integrity is lost
once you realize
The name is quite uncommon,
engrained into their minds
The feelings that I gave him,
still desperate to define
You reap as you sow,
the reason that you hide
Is that before the betrayal,
you were a friend of mine
Before he was yours,
attached to my side
A boy who would kill
for a second of my time
So despite the facade,
you would put up a shrine
With my face in the middle,
you cannot deny
You beg him to see you,
though he lies by your side
Praying to the skies
to consider your bribe
For some time in my flesh,
so he may comply
I bet all of your possessions
and mine intertwined
Grieving the triumph,
remaining supine
Desperate to find a way
your love will suffice
Only if one day,
You change your name to mine
