Call Me By A New Name

so call me by a new name

I wish to forget myself

for my burden is greater than I

I wish to exist as another in your company

your presence, my sedative

pain is relative but I swear

that most are unable to bare

my amount, and I can’t account

for yours or any other

for my mother will die

and yours too

and I wish not to disappoint you

but I thought I would be buried by now

 

I only ever wanted your comfort

you were the softest thing I ever knew
