Welcome

A Man’s Name

I want you to miss me
Day in and day out
I want you to know that
You’re trapped
In this prison called love
And you’re not looking
For a way out
That’s how I confess love
It’s not I love you
It’s you love me more than life
Because it’s a given
That I’m committed
To making you my wife
Maybe these are just thoughts
From a man’s mind
Selfish
Not looking at your feelings like
That one time

But the only thing separating us
Is I have a man’s name

So
It has to be more
Maybe what I’m asking for
Dedication to me
As I’m dedicated to you
No lies
Now that we’re telling the truth
I met Jessica
Sarah
They left me intrigued
I would like to know them better
Sarah likes the way your cell’s decorated
And she wants to stay
Trapped in this prison with us
Application submitted
Only waiting for you to say
Okay
Selfish
Not looking at your feelings like
That one time

But the only thing separating us
Is I have a man’s name

So
Maybe we aren’t made the same
Since this is how I was born
You say it’s my fault
But who am I to blame
You’ll tell me you’ve never felt the same
And I’m the reason you played the game
Now that
You have us both in this picture frame
This is how it’s meant to be
And I’m questioning
If this is meant for me
Now it seems
The way she felt
Isn’t the way I felt for she
Selfish
Not looking at your feelings
Like that one time

But the only thing separating us
Is I have a man’s name

Like that one time
I told this girl
I can never be yours
But I wouldn’t mind if you were mine
Like that one time
I said
I get distracted easily
A short attention span
But I don’t mind always being on your mind
But it’s nothing like
That one time
I gave this girl the world
And she threw it back in my face
Because that’s not what she asked for
Not fancy enough
Only dirt and rocks
She said it wasn’t a nice place
I wanted to share it with her
I saw us growing together
Collecting what we needed
As we moved through time
Space
We would have made this perfect globe
You see on my shoulders
It’s a bit cold but
I promise
It’s a nice place

At that I saw you wince
As if you’ve felt the pain
You held up your hand
As if to say
Wait
As you pulled a small sphere
From your pocket
Identical to mine
Unrealistically had the same weight
And within that moment
The only thing separating us
Was a man’s name
