Call My Name

DEE 2005 (Lagos)



Call my name,
Just call my name,
You do but not often enough,
Why can't you call my name?!

I guess karma is real.
I ignored someone for you,
Now you ignore me for someone.
Why can't you call my name?!
please call my name!!!

I stare at you,
you play with me,
I think I am special,
but no!
You play with every boy!
So what makes me so different?

If I could just hear you call my name.
Truly greedy of me.
Truly convertious of me.
I want you to want me,
but I don't want you.
Lies!!!
I'm in love with you.

I want to be happy with you,
but my happiness comes at a price,
new enemies,
hatred,
jealousy,
malice,
so I'll behave,
but please call my name.

About this poem

I wrote this poem wondering why I had feelings for my friend's girlfriend and why I suddenly cared a great deal for her.
