Crooked Halo
They’ll call me—
They’ll call me royalty.

Goddess
By: Xana
I know you heard what I said.
These shadows by my side.
Sharp click of my heels.
Quick snap of my fingers.
Down on your knees serve up.
I love the way you fall:
bow when you’re scared.
This is what a queen looks like.
Vicious, threatening, demanding.
A queen who craves someone
brave enough to stalk her.
Someone strong enough to
walk on the end of her leash.
A guy wrapped around her finger.
Does what I want how I want it.
What I say and when I say it.
I don’t need a man.
I need a puppy.
I don’t need faith.
I need you to fear this.
I won’t be on bottom,
I need you to hear this.
I’m the devil: she wears pink.
I’m boss lady, pay up.
Crooked crown of halo.
Queen of hell and darkness.
Im in all your bad dreams.
I own this.
I own you.
Learn this.
You’ll call me—
royalty.
