Call My Name

I called you yesterday     
Your voice was still the same   
Smooth like silk and baritone   
You never said my name     
     
And just like years ago     
The conversation was all you     
Six years have passed     
You still don’t have a clue     
    
Of how I loved you or thought I did     
In hindsight in was only lust     
Your rejection bred my obsession     
A realization that seems unjust     
    
For how could I a poor creature     
Who turned myself inside out     
Not have been your perfect woman     
I was there throughout     
    
The good the bad and the ugly     
The other women and the shame     
Your penance never present     
You never said my name     
    
I know your tricks now     
It was always baby honey doll     
Because it was all a game to you     
To not remember when I call
