Replacing Her

I let my sweet taste replace her sweeter taste in your mouth.

I let my fingers occupy the spaces between your fingers she once was. 

I let myself be her.

Molded with the same brain but different minds. 

She's smarter though. 

She ran away and left he ghost behind. 

And I the stupid one, let her ghost posses me, consume me. 

Now, I'm no one but an empty shell with the spirit of a girl whom he once loved.


And like all the nights, since she leave him behind.

He called me by her name the other night.

So I labeled myself as her, owning all of her places in his heart. 

Her name, mine. 

His love for her, mine. 

Her side of the bed, mine. 

All of her i took as mine. 

So when he called me again by her name last night, 

I let myself succumb to his calls. 

But that night before I sleep, I ask myself. 

"If her name's mine, who then owns my name? Who am I?'
