A Part Of Me

A real woman

My expectations lowly hang
As low as the huge moon
On an unblemished sky
No apologies needed pretty boy
Disappointment won't greet me
Now I know how to flee
From situations that
No longer serve me

Even if you
Wore your heart on your sleeve
It won't help you heave
The constant mesh of lies, you weave
Where will you hide them now?
All the white lies piling up
You should save them for someone
Who gives a damn

Didn't your momma tell you?
Queens don't seek validation
Your words, dripping with sweetness
Laced with caramel
And suave manners
You should save them for someone
Who gives a damn

It's all or nothing, pretty boy
Real diamond is what I am after
Half hearted fake promises
I can see through them
So, don't bother making them
Fake plastered smiles
Never moved me
Something real is what I seek
Not just as sneak peek
In an ocean of you

Dear pretty boys
A palpable sense of desperation
In your sweet little lies
Try their best to ensnare
A woman's worth
Sinfully trying to capture her heart
Stringing her along
But she vehemently refuses
To play the fool
A real man is what she seeks
Yours sincerely
A real woman
