She sat on her pedestal
Indifferent to the throne
I made for her
So self absorbed
My self absorbed
Dogmatic and blind
There is no
Greater illusion
Than my image of you
Does the fault lie
In the fantasy
Or in the one
Who believes
In my naiveté
I thought myself
Immune
To your poison
Felt for a moment
I belong
Up there with you
Licking your feet
Grovelling for a glance
A nod of recognition
A place at your side
But no
I was never enough
Take caution
In your confidence
As you sit so high
For I've been known
To crumble
The tallest of pedestals
To bring down
The most majestic
Of things
I have left many
Like you
In my wake
As the humble peasant
Can be
Far more dangerous
Than the noble queen

Oh these filthy hands can tear down all sorts of things, pedestals and thrones included. I don’t mean to… or do I?? I’ll bring you low, right down to my level. Then, perhaps, this once, I can finally be enough.

bullshit. its a basic female hypergamous program. she will forever believe there is someone better even when 40 and nobody wants to look at her.
it was meant to be overpowered through social control or violent conquest, and exists to guide her towards the best mate in chattel conditions.
but since even verbal abuse will land you in jail if you attempt it with the wrong woman and since social control has been abolished via feminism, this program that evolved as a slave emotion for steering purposes becomes pathological in a being with self determination
ultimately this will lead to the extinction of people who subscribe to this morality within 20/30 years and chattel conditions will remerge as they currently exist in all non-european societies
