A GIRL AND HER CROWN

I wish I could see myself through your eyes,
The wonder and awe that you can’t disguise.

Your love is so pure and I’m so undeserving,
Wait…your love, so intense…that it’s almost unnerving.

You’re always watching me now and controlling my days,
I can never break free from your dark wicked gaze.

But I’ll run out that door and never turn back,
Escaping from you and your constant attack.

You made me fall hard…feel so safe and secure,
The love that you showed me…so fierce but a lure.

Then like day turns to night or the lights turn back on,
Your love became evil…so twisted and wrong.

After building us up you started tearing me down,
You wanted a prisoner…not a girl and her crown.

Well I’m not a weak woman so let that sink in,
You want to play games? Oh I know that I’ll win.

I’ve dated your type and it’s hardened my heart,
Made me so strong I can tear you apart.

When I’m done with you…when I take you down,
You’ll no longer be able to take anyone’s crown.
