my name, it wasn't yours





i say my name, it feels tainted
am i a word?
empty, meaningless

it wasn't yours to take

am i slandering myself
revealing something i never knew i wanted hidden

a lost thing

i wanna sit with myself
not in this by myself
it's gross
and nostalgic
and stings some how

it wasn't yours to take
