Emilie Autumn

What right have I?
You are not mine
Nor will you ever be
I need not try
To read your sign
You don’t belong to me
I should not care
How you behave
What difference does it make?
Perhaps someday
You will grow brave
And from this sleep awake
But when you do
It will not then
Be caused by what I say
But by one who
Like other men
Holds you within her sway
And as I claim
No place within
The life you choose to live
I’ll stay the same
