DisRespected Queen



I worked against my needs.
Giving you every ounce of me,
and still you abandon me.
Time and again you vowed things would change.
Two weeks would pass and damn,
another womans name.
Each night I pray for the strength to stay.
Knowing deep in my soul
I really want to walk away.
"Baby I'm doing this for us."
The words replay in my head,
while you play in the streets.
Claiming the licks heavy.
Protecting the jades
I know you snaking.
I've planned my life according to my dreams.
Never once did it include
a DisRespected Queen.
