know my name

know my name.

ask me for it.

when you walk and forget my face
Come back with the grace
to ask me for it

Know my name.

Ask me for it.

Letters combined to label my kind
that speaks a truth from my lips only
that leaves a man fulfilled and lonely
that touches his head like a priest holy
and pushes him back like a temptress solely
to hold my own hands

Know my name.

ask me for it.

I took yours once and kept it close.
every letter in my book

I know your name.
I asked you for it.
