Your Highness
~~~
With every retort of how I fell short
Came the tears from sad brown eyes
How was I to know, that the tears that flow
Were just a river of liquid lies
~~~
You were quick with the blame, good at the game
Taught me to question who I was
You had to be right, had to win every fight
Compromise not what a princess does
~~~
You sat on your throne, unhappy alone
Plied your womanly wiles to find the man
Who would kneel at your feet, take a back seat
Silent partner to every plan
~~~
And what you called love, sitting high above
Were just small crumbs for a jestered fool
This was the pay for giving away
Any thoughts of sharing your rule
~~~
I cannot say you are not a Queen in some ways
But the regal ego is quite a sting
And how hard you tried to stifle my pride
But I have always known, I am a King
~~~
sometimes it takes a long time to see and believe – well said
Thank you Beth! You are a Queen in my book!
Yes! Well said!
Thanks brother!
You’re very welcome my brother!
I have fought – and will continue to fight – against anyone who treats you like less than all of the wonderfulness you are!
Please know that sentiment is surely returned. Thanks for always looking out for me. Love you!
Sounds like a lot of toxicity out of your life. You’re better off without all that, Brad.
Thank you Pete!
I love how you turned the tables with the last line!
Thank you King Q!

Wow that packed a bunch. Ouch perhaps you found a rare beauty that had no real love, empathy or kindness. Well written Brad. Gotta love this piece. You are better off without this person.
Love ❤️ and warm hugs from Jonikins
Thank you Jonikins!
My pleasure Brad. Great work. Sending my love. ❤️🤗😘❤️
I love that ending! Damn right, you’re a king, and deserve to be treated as such!
Don’t we all!
