You perform like a spotlight addict, chasing every stare Sugar dripping from your sentences, perfume in the air You flutter your pretty blue eyes, rehearsed and on cue But illusion fades fast when the room sees through you You dance on his ego like it’s your only stage Writing desperation in invisible ink across his page You beg for gravity while I bend the tide You’re loud with devotion, I weaponise quiet pride You sparkle like glass beneath chandelier lies But pressure reveals which stones truly survive You may flutter your pretty blue eyes But everyone knows diamonds are common, emeralds steal the show You’re reaching for crowns made of glitter and gold While I wear the throne in the calm I control You move like a gamble, loud with your plea I move like a secret he’s dying to keep He hears you screaming just to be seen While he memorises the silence between Like in chess, you guard him like he’s divine Shielding a fragile empire built on borrowed time You’re too busy protecting the king When the queen holds the war in the curve of her wings I don’t chase victories, I design the fall Every step you’re rushing, I predicted it all You play with emotion like it’s currency spent I invest in patience and collect the intent You burn through attention like it’s oxygen I let him breathe me in again and again You may flutter your pretty blue eyes But everyone knows diamonds are common, emeralds steal the show You’re reaching for crowns made of glitter and gold While I wear the throne in the calm I control You move like a gamble, loud with your plea I move like a secret he’s dying to keep He hears you screaming just to be seen While he memorises the silence between Like geminis, we are twins but poles apart You turn love into theatre, I turn it into art You scream pick me across crowded rooms I whisper take me and rewrite his truths You fight for attention like it’s oxygen air I become the addiction already living there You chase reflections in mirrors he breaks I become the reflection he’s too scared to replace Soft voice, steady hands I never ask, I command Velvet ropes, subtle schemes He kneels deeper inside my dreams You may flutter your pretty blue eyes But everyone knows diamonds are common, emeralds steal the show You’re reaching for crowns made of glitter and gold While I wear the throne in the calm I control You beg for a kingdom built on demand I build dynasties without lifting my hand He hears you screaming just to be seen While he surrenders to the girl in green You shout his name like a siren in flames I sign it in silence and still win the game
