You dodged my logic
You drove my ego down
You seen my potential
You said hell no I’ll kill it
Childhood upheaval the blame
Mother forsaken your innocence
Resentment; every cutie gotta render
Pay the piper of your hatred,
Your hatred of women existence
Numb to affection like a heroin high
Heroine slave to your cold heartless
Mislaying myself to your inner demons
“Whatever you like” to gain your attention
Bargaining my spirit to accomplish minimum
Minimum of force to catch my woes
Reckless to the idea of my needs
Leaving me in love alone
Left me to fend for your presence
Searching for me…I’m lost into you….
