MissBehave

 


So, you think you can make me behave,
Just 'cause it's your turn to save face—
But you can't even respect me, and somehow,
I'm the one who’s supposed to crave?

You think you hold the upper hand,
‘Cause momma told you, "You're the man"?
Please. I was never drawn to your charm;
I only felt sorry for you—no support, no plan.

See, you didn’t find me attractive when I acted the way you did,
And now you think you pulled one on me? How silly you hid.
Boy, you were the one who had no depth,
Just followed whatever was on trend.
Don’t judge you for that, but don’t act like you had any upper hand…

Do you think I’m the one who got away?
I can make anyone feel special when I like,
And take away when you cross my line.

I had to act so I don’t upstage you,
So I don’t let your personality cage you.
Way too good for your bratty behind,
A zero-personality guy.
Even your tastes were mine to lend—
You think I loved you? Ha, think again.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon,  Veena Rao
