Queen of the Damned

Your words ring hollow in my ears They're full of bitterness and fear I see through your facade so clear Your empty words, I will not hear You whine and moan and yell and scream Throw temper tantrums quite obscene And if your own way, I don't lean Your break my heart and crush my dreams You say, "I'll love you for all time" Really, you mean, "I'll make you mine" Your lies are such a heinous crime Your love for me, only a mime With your false actions and pretend Your righteousness,  you can't defend Your selfish pride, you can't rescind With your own will, you can't contend You hold me fast, while rancor breeds Then spurn me, when it suits your needs Say, "I want to follow your lead" But make me, your fickle whims, heed You dictate choices, overbear And tear me down most ev'rywhere So you remain beyond compare Never, the limelight, have to share You speak of her as though she stays In forefront of my mind all day While all, to you, I want to say Is that you are my life, my way Visions of you controlled my thoughts Affections of my heart, you caught A future for us, I had wrought But you traded them all for naught Will ever you be satisfied? Until my will to yours has died My ev'ry wish has been denied And ev'ry truth has been belied I ponder these things in my mind As you continue, me, to bind And with your machinations grind So that you may, on me, be dined I'll fill you till your soul expands So on my ev'ry word you stand And with my tongue, I will, you brand A harlot, the Queen of the Damned Written April 17th, 2002 © on Apr 17 2002 11:39 PM PST   0 • 10 • 1
