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
