"The Pleiades Poems of A Darker Light Volume II (Poetry) - "You Don't Know My Name"

"You Don't Know My Name"

Two months talking, you know my face,

But you never call me by name.

I learned yours after the first time you smiled at me.

Words like poetry, it felt nice to find someone who cared.

A nice change from the people in the streets, I have to kill.

You laugh, you smile, but it's just a mask.

Life's just a masquerade party.

You're the guest of honor.

You take center stage.

You know a hundred people but not their names,

People you wave to or just ghosts.

You have no shame.

Plastic and fake, you're all the same to everyone.

Bitch!

I’m standing in awe.

How long has this been going on?

Why didn't I see it earlier?

It hit me one day like a speeding train.

After dark or in the morning, you are well rehearsed.

Fuck!

You see me, but you don't know my name.

I was calm, now I'm the storm that breaks the silence.

I can't believe

You don’t know my name.

I thought you were a bombshell, but you dropped like a lead weight.

I can't wait to act like I don't know you.

Bitch!

Can’t you see me? I spoke to you for two

months.

You still don’t know my name.

You played me like a fiddle, and I was the only one in the audience.

Your knife of kindness cut me deep!

The truth I can’t face, a cut on my face, a stab in the heart.

You think it’s all a game.

I've already erased your face from my consciousness.

You’ll remember my name when I tell you to fuck off! You fraud!

I can't wait to see the tears and disbelief in your eyes!

You've been exposed, you insincere bitch!

And I’m taking control; you don't exist anymore!

You don’t know my name!

You don't know my name!

You don’t know me!

Bitch!

Two months, time wasted.

But I’m ready to scream,

You don’t know my name,

But I’m living a dream,

A dream you cared about me!

In the backdrop of life, I sit still

And ponder.

How could you be this way?

With the weight of my pain,

You don't know my name.

It's the same; it's too late that I realized you're fake!
