Never try to control me from beyond the Grave
Love yourself and respect yourself.
Validate who you are and reclaim your powers.
If you see me happy, let me be
leave me alone to gather dust on the shelf.
Those lonely hours were spent building my tower.
.
Even from beyond the grave,
you still believe you can control me.
You once held the keys to my heart,
but you’ve completely forgotten my strength, honeybee!
You were nothing but a viper, a sniper, and subtly discreet.
Once my foolish heart fell for your laugher
Not it can’t stand the thoughts of your gestures
Now it feels like a ripped -an out chapter,
A love like mine was entirely blind,
A narrative forged in a realm where dreams were scattered:
And here I find myself left with a scammer,
whom I believed was a lover.
Love ourselves and respect ourselves
as we Validate who we are as we reclaim our powers.
If you see me happy, let me be
leave me alone to gather the dust on the shelf.
Those lonely hours were spent building my tower.
Looking back on what has been,
Yet fully welcoming the lessons learned,
Love has its clarity,
I was duped that love is blind
that is why bats understand that night is their domain.
