A Face Without a Name
My name use to be lover
But I realized now
That you gave my name away to another
We met
In a place where hearts should never meet
Where love was only a fantasy
Something you dreamed about but never spoke of
Something beautiful you could see but never touch
Like the stars
Like, I was just a speck gazing up at you
A star in the sky
And out of those 10 billion I knew
That you were the brightest one
It was in that moment that you gave me the name, lover
It was in that moment
That I
A speck of dirt
A nothing
Became lover
Became yours.
But it was there that we met in a place where hearts should never meet
Galaxies pushing us apart
Their hands stinging as they yanked me away from you
But I am already caught up in your Nebula
They shield your light away
And strip me of my name
I am no longer lover
No longer yours
If only my arms could push past them
If only I could reach you
But you've given my name away
To another
Now I'm just a nameless speck you use to call lover
You don't shine as bright anymore
Your light has left your eyes
And I've been crying
Ever since you left my sky
