respect that is due


I've heard you out and I choose not to buy.
Cause you hold me guilty of not having conversation and that's a fucking lie.

You will be the one to call me now and forever,
Cause you have chosen your family and you will over and over.

In a commitment, I am a benevolent dictator and will continue to be.
I leave it to you if by my presence you want to be pleased and please.

Nothing angers me more than having complications and you have incited,
This war of self worth, privacy and consent.

I'm sorry but it's what you have chosen,
For my well being I will not be as open.

You can call me a sleaze or see me as someone perverse.
But you've reduced my interests to this in my next verse.

Sexual healing is what I have to offer.
Depending on it, I have no doubt that doubt will take over.

The worst element into us you have introduced.
You will pay and when this is over, I will have lost…

At the end we will be alone even after we work towards being together.
This relationship with you I will never sever.

Cause I enjoy it. But you won’t make me better.
That is left to me and I will do butter.

What lies ahead as you have been writing I hope will continue.
This war is far from over and your apology I reject cause I today brought it to full view.

Humanizing your falter is what I did before you.
I hope you will see me as an equal someday and treat me with the respect that is due.
