Not My Name

You should know by now I have a name
Since I was born it's been the same
When once this you'd call me by
And straight away I would reply

When we first met and introduced
Long before we were seduced
We found each other becoming friends
Committed to the time we spend

Soon our names became entwined
To our friends we were combined
Whenever they spoke to us
Both our names they would discuss

Not long and we'd become a pair
It didn't feel right without you there
Our journey together we would ride
And our hearts filled with pride

As time would pass more feelings show
Then slowly we would start to know
There's not a thing we wouldn't share
Both becoming more aware

Soon my name you wouldn't say
Nicknames that would start to stray
Like sweetie, pumpkin and even hun
I didn't at all mind those ones

But I couldn't have been prepared
To hearing names that you declared
When having our first argument
You saying things that you resent

And although this was a first
Not long before I thought the worst
Every time which you'd critique
It's these names that I'd hear you speak

Although I refuse to answer back
Not because emotions that I lack
Or however much you are to blame
My heart will only ever just say your name
