You say you can make me happy I want to know how You say you can buy me what I like You say you can make me smile You say you can make me feel special I want to know how You say you can buy me purses, shoes, and perfume You say you can kiss me softly You say you can spend all your money on me I look at you confused You ask, “what’s wrong?” I say that if that’s all you have to offer me, then I’m not missing out on much You look shocked and say, “but how?” If I wanted a man to buy me what I liked such as a purse, shoes, or perfume I’d get a sugar daddy I’m not a girl who gets excited by a man buying me materials and expecting me to be happy I happen to be a Queen I love kisses a lot I do But if you think that kissing me is the only way to make me smile, then you’re sadly mistaken Tell me a cheesy joke Surprise me at work just because Ask me how my day went Give me a foot rub while we watch something on TV I do not wear a silver plastic tiara like a princess I wear a golden crown like a Queen Let me be clear, I like getting gifts But if gifts will be the only way you show you care Then you might as well be on to the next Spending all your money on me might make me feel special You stop me and say “but it’ll make you feel like a Queen” I shake my head no You doing that might make me feel special But there’s more value to me as a woman than your money Your money impresses a princess But the man you are will have a lasting impression on a Queen 12/21/2017 -Mia J
