The Empress

The Empress
Didn’t I try
To love her?
Didn’t I paint
Pictures of her?
Didn’t I try
To change?
I shouldn’t be bothered
Didn’t I buy
The ocean for her?
Didn’t I wear
The colour (?)
Didn’t I feel
The wind?
Didn’t I plead?

She is strange
And solemn
She is
Like cherry blossom
She is
The Empress
Didn’t I kneel
Before her?
Didn’t I follow
Her orders?
Didn’t I clean
Her shit?
Didn’t I fall?
Didn’t I climb
The ladder?
Didn’t I smile
For the cameras?
Didn’t I feel
The wind?
Didn’t I plead? (? bleed)
She is strange
And solean
She is
Like cherry blossom
She is
The Empress
She is strange
And solemn
With lips
Like cherry blossom
She is
The Empress.
