I say your name
Aloud, to myself
When I am so frustrated
So fed up
When all my hopes are lost
And my faith in you has run out
When I can’t cry anymore
When I can’t remember another thing
Because every memory I’ve already had with you
Has just flashed before me
When I know you’re with her
And not with me
I say your name
Aloud, to myself
And hear how significant it sounds
Then I take the significant out
I say your name
Aloud
To remind myself that that is all you are to me now
A hollow name
Not someone I should ever love
And then I convince myself that it was all a dream
A hollow name, a perfect dream
You no longer mean a thing to me…
Until the next day
When I no longer can hear hollowness in your name
And I must repeat the same old thing
