Sweet Female

Clara

Here I am upon the floor 

Come on in and take what's left 

The last visitor, well... They took the rest

On my knees troubled by broken dreams 

I give and I give

My soul is weak, my body is betraying me

Yet please, be my guest

Continue to walk upon where I rest. 

 

I've no wish to be respected or so it seems

Wipe your feet upon my chest

Turn your eyes from my tears

The panting from my chest 

Ignore the blood from my fingernails 

Please, you carry on with your requests. 

 

I am but one person 

It has become too much to digest 

Can you not see there's no end to my will? 

To please

To be the best 

And yet... 

 

Take a deep breath 

Rise up from darkened depths 

Shake off your exhaustion, your chronic labelled stress 

There's work to be done 

Bottom feeder

I am but a cog in this machine 

Keep working 

Move forward, you can do th--

 

For the love of..... Wipe your eyes woman 

Get a grip! 

Provide them with a glass of lemonade, 

Silly bitch 

Play your part, do your bit 

Go home and procreate. That's it. 

 

I shall be back within the month if you fail 

Oh, Sweet Female...

    Your words in this verse have flowed so well with a subject we often feel strongly about yet are reluctant to deal with ..... a compelling read Clara

      Thank you, as always

        Thank you Fred

        I see a sadness in this piece which causes me to worry somewhat about the narrator.

        It takes a worried man to sing a worried song!

        I am pleased that it is only fiction and your undirectionally flowing but well chosen words are but a story.

        Kind regards, Alan

          Your concern is always appreciated Alan, thank you. This was just me playing around with words and verse. Perhaps some historical sadness seeping through, I can't lie. Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting 🙂

            the woman is our root, our queen, and will be treated as one in my kingdom!
