There is a Name

There is a name that haunts me.
This name has found its way
into almost every girl
I've ever been seriously involved with
in one form or another.
It's the middle name.
So I don't always know it
when I'm getting into it.
But sooner or later,
I find out.
Ah,
she has that name.
That name that haunts me.
It's so bad,
I've found myself
asking girls
what their middle name is
if I find myself interested.
The name has not been present
for some time.
And...
oddly enough...
I've not been involved
with anyone
in almost a year.
Billie,
Anglee,
Jen,
Pheobe,
Kae.
All these names
stretching back
into my youth.
All these sharing a
common,
hidden
name.
Why do you follow me?
And now,
something blips on the radar.
A distant scent
that piques my interest.
I've met her once
or twice.
I know
a little
about her.
I find out
a little more.
Little things start
to sync,
fall in place.
And what,
praytell,
is her middle name?
Oh haunted name!

Marie.
