speak my name and I come to you
be it day or night, I'll run to you
you say my name and I am captured
whisper those two syllables enraptured

you shout my name and bring me grief
you growl my name through gritted teeth
spit my name out on the cluttered floor
she swears she'll speak my name no more

say my name, I still exist
I back away from your clenched fist
please, oh please don't close your mouth
her silence shoves me out the house

I miss my name upon your lips, the way my hands felt on your hips
the way you uttered it in glee, my name no longer your soliloquy

I still say yours more than I should
if I could stop it, then I would
your name bursts forth through muffled cries
but my names forever lost under our lies
