Your name is a drawstring laced around my neck
Tighter with every breath

Your name is a drawstring laced around my neck
Tighter with every breath

And though I probably deserve
This noose there's one thing I'd like to adduce
Something many weeks and months overdue

Just know I never resented you
Not that I expect that to

Make anything right or rectified

Just know I never resented you
And I understand if you can't stand
The sound or sight of my name
