Pet Name Friends
Why don't you call me love anymore?
nobody’s stolen my nickname you know.
though I know my name was christened
so use to having listened,
all these years, to you calling me love
so when I hear 1st name terms
it seems alien
and cold
the beginning of the end
pet name friends
cant pretend any longer
shes stopped,
and,
like the first turn on a lock,
it will throw us apart
forever.

A very poignant poem and so much truth in it. With my ex I was always Izz until things went sour and then I became Isobel and I just hated the thin raspy way he used to say it. I always used his Christian name (which was short enough) until things soured and then I just called him bastard...
