Queen of Heartbreaks

Diamonds to fur coats, I gave you just about everything. Flowers to love notes, I gave you that engagement ring! But you took advantage of the kindness I so easily gave. You've done your damage princess and now you think I'm your slave? You're so very wrong, but I can't lie, I want to die listening to your admission. I listen to your ugly song, and you're not my type of musician! Attentiveness to affection there wasn't a thing I wouldn't share. An emotional spiritual connection, I would follow you anywhere! I treated you like a queen, and kneeled before your throne. You had me addicted like nicotine, but you played me like a saxophone! I was deceived, yet believed, you were once heaven-sent. And the love you represent caused me too much torment! Living in an emotional hell, under your spell, but you were so confident. No more, I'm out that door, find a new instrument!
