My Name
You
 You have taken every
 Last
 Inch of me
 Taken my life
 My love
 My
 My everything
 
 And because you have taken everything
 And you are everything
 You took you away from me too
 
 And what
 My dear
 Is in a name?
 That which we call a rose
 By any other name
 Would smell as sweet
 But would it?
 If we just so happened 
 To have different names
 Instead of those which we have
 Which are too similar for coincidence
 Then we wouldn't be us
 I wouldn't have shot you that dirty look in class
 Wouldn't have looked back and fallen in love
 And you never would have fallen back
 
 But then came the heartache
 Which I now so despise
 And the tears soon followed suit
 Because
 It was through those tears
 That I realized why
 Why we wouldn't ever work
 Because we are not supposed to exist together
 But can't exist apart
 
 And so you took my pride
 My dignity
 My love
 And you threw it in the fire of your constantly burning heart
 Just to watch it burn
 And you stuck around
 Because you are my best friend
 Because we have found each other
 Against all odds or intentions
 And can't ever fall apart again
 
 I love you
 And I just can't stop
