You Deserve More

An ode to the women in love with those who don't appreciate them.

You deserve better Ma.

Beautiful girl, beautiful woman, don’t you think you deserve more?More than those late night phone calls that require you to wake up out your slumber to accommodate someone coming to you like a thief in the night.You deserve more.More than being treated like a secret, only seen at night and never in the day.Beautiful girl, beautiful woman, don’t you think you deserve more?More than empty promises and lies and tears. Temporary pain shouldn’t last for years.You deserve more.The dates, the smiles, the gifts, and the I-love-you’s… Your days should be filled with joy, not the blues.You deserve more.When you ask him how he feels….Actually, you shouldn’t have to ask. He should constantly tell you, make you forget about your past.Beautiful girl, beautiful woman, don’t you think you deserve more?Your love should always be reciprocated. You deserve more.You don’t deserve to get used. He’s not worthy enough to be in your presence, let alone be on the receiving end of your compassion.Beautiful girl, beautiful woman, you deserve more.More than what he can give you.You deserve more.More than what he tells you.Beautiful girl, beautiful woman, don’t you think you deserve more? You deserve better.
