Your name is a
Drawstring laced around
My neck, tighter
With every breath

Your name is a
Drawstring laced around
My neck, tighter
With every breath

And though I probably deserve this noose
There's one thing I'd like to adduce
Something many weeks and months overdue

Just know I never resented you
Not that I expect that to
Make anything right or rectified

Just know I never resented you
And I understand if you
Can't stand the sound or sight of my name
