Lady Flora

They say I must love my dear momma
They say I must love her dear lover
But now I do not have to please them
I am queen

Been prohibited, I must say
Her dear lady always AIDS
But now I do get to deny
I am queen

Mom woke me up at 6 a. M
She said someone wanted to see me
To give me a big big news
I am queen

But the lady got sick
Or was there a baby to be born?
Mommy’s lover and the lady
Was that my triumph queen’s choir?

Flowers, flowers, why so many flowers?
I heard her claim, promise innocence
Here let me sigh my life away
You are queen

She destroyed my crown for a few cold months
And chased my dreams till I begged for mercy
She made me better, non-judgmental, but weak
I am no longer the queen I was once
But I still am
Queen

And every night I hear her say

Here let me wander, here let me stray
Here let me sigh my life away
Why should I court the world's false smile
Which brightens only to beguile?
