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 have bothered.

Didn’t I buy The ocean for her?

Didn’t I wear The colour

Didn’t I feel The wind?

Didn’t I bleed?

She is strange

And sorrow.

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 bleed

She is strange And sorrow.

She is Like cherry blossom.

She is The Empress.

She is strange And sorrow.

With lips Like cherry blossom.

She is The Empress
