For never and always, Mrs Habsburg

Never call this pretty
Ravenous heaves of craving borne only by ugly
And the chatter and chatter
Nothing seems to matter
But your pursuit

Stomp them down while they slumber
Pillage and plunder
Battle axe with a smile intact
Ms. Raging Bull 

How long 'til he sees the strength of your arms
and the grin like receding waters?
The stench of your intent
The bile of the tempest trials
The mastery of flattery
Feed hungry ears
Beguile your foolish peers

You have won in pretense
What comes after caused by then
Common sense common sense
In truth, it's one eye open
and second guesses
Praying she's not any more wretched

Your love the suckling 
Nursing on memories of the dead
It's in your head, in your head
You will chase and spin
Damning to win
Carrying desperate affection 
Avoiding your reflection
Yours is forever
A lifetime endeavor
And you’ll toil and you’ll toil
Forever a slave to your spoils
