The Male A.S. 1990

I’m not that person
that person you’ve mistaken me for
Perhaps I resemble him
funny though, ‘cuz I have no belief in him
never met him
nor noticed his presence before
yet you see him when you see me
you could be sick, unsure of your surroundings
yet you say you love me, when you see him
I wish to meet this man you love so.
you said you hold him every night.
You are mistaken, for it is me
you hold each night.
“I know,” you said.
“I know.”
