When they mention your name, <br />I pretend I don't hear. <br />I never pass any blame, <br />But I can't hide my tears. <br /> <br />When they mention your name, <br />I just look away. <br />But it's always the same, <br />If it's night or it's day. <br /> <br />When they mention your name, <br />I just don't want to talk. <br />To me it wasn't a game, <br />And I just take a walk. <br /> <br />But when I close my door, <br />All I hear is your name. <br />I start pacing the floor, <br />And my voice sounds so lame. <br /> <br />10/27/10 Alton Texas<br /><br />Juan Olivarez<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-they-mention-your-name/
