Don’t Call Me Muse

He told me to shave my chin. Shave my legs and BEND OVER for him. He worships my body while another Queen takes from his account, and that’s when he begged for a happy wife. One that does not make a sound. Do you see now, why the world is a storm with blank faces and a frown? Works I am LOVING by 🙌🏽🌹 Aspen Marie, Pamela Williams, The Dani Writer, Calvin London, kp, Tanya Rosa Marie, Mother combs 🙌🏽🌹

You’re the reason why we are like this.

🖤

Yes we will love, but we will never give back as much as you want us to.

_

You want our womb, so that we can raise your child.

~

The world was built by you and you’ve made it into a shrine ©️

🖤

A man like you will look at a screen and scroll to the newest meat.

Then claim monogamy

~

Worshipping the body of another queen ©️

🖤

Another man won’t let me leave

Threats is all you feed.

~

Forgetting you were less of a man.

🖤

Despised by your own mind ©️

You asked me which girl you should choose.

~

Not thinking of what you will lose, feeding on my envy.

🖤

Money made you a throne king, but you will never be merry ©️

Ask that queen what you’ve done to deserve me

~

A wife that does not love you anymore

🖤

You will think you scored.

But all you scored was a moving goal post.

~

You will not get a woman that you can control.

🖤

Only someone with hurt feelings, with a love that will never grow. ©️

While you sat there and stuffed your face.

~

I chewed my lips with anxiety.

🖤

Rocking back and forth with STDS in mind.

_

On your face a wide smile

~

And you have the audacity to ask me why. ©️

🖤

Take that screen out of my face. You have left me to die.

Wallow in your lust and grime.

~

That's why

🖤

I will never respect a man like you.

Unable to rise above what your parents do

~

Mind in a another mans sheet ©️

Not to do what you’ve done

~

But to show you a broken heart is not fun!
