Tell me your name
So I can try and forget
the feeling of your tongue on my neck
Yell your name
So I can remember
The ambers that made us burn brighter together
Confess your name
To those who came before
So they can know why you won’t be at my door
Whisper your name
So I can drown the silence of lost innocence
Beg for my name
So it can be back on your lips
My name is not yours to say
Tell me your name
So I can forget

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

The ending really brought it all together! Love this.
This was lean but impactful. Was going to subscribe. Bit scared now. Jokes! ;0) A terrific piece! 👏
I’ve never read poetry that gives me the feels these two I just read have. WOW. Wow. wow. I’m a fan. Thank you for sharing ❤️✨❤️
That was nice poem.
I've been there and oh how I wish I could forget them all
Jazzy I love the passionate and sultry feel of this poem! It felt affectionate but also laced with maybe the regret of thoughtless actions, something like a one night stand..? Overall it was a great read and so well written. Nicely done! Also congratulations on Top Story! 🎉
This is an excellent poem. I love the concluding lines "Beg for my name / So it can be back on your lips / My name is not yours to say / Tell me your name / So I can forget." Congratulations on Top Story!

This is stunning, Jazzy! So emotive and quite intense! And the ongoing internal fight, as C.R. said, brilliant work. Congrats on Top Story!
Congratulations on your Top Story ❤️😉📝💥
Captivating 🔥 I love how the repetition contradicts itself in some ways. As if the narrator is fighting with themself. Great job!
A very interesting concept!
