Fern Carle Poet Rhyme

The Notion of Devotion

when you slammed loves door said goodbye
I thought the carousel of love had passed me on by
living on my own I didn't think that I'd survive it
swallowing the truth I fought to deny it

weighed down by a mountain of fear
it took months before the fog began to clear
as time passed by I came to the conclusion
love I thought was tried and true was just an illusion

I was in love with the fantasy of love
in love with the notion of devotion
since we severed the ties realities opened my eyes
I was in love with the notion of devotion

I tried to change you turn you into a man
all you did was ignore me sit on your can
walking on eggshells nothing I did was ever right
all we did was argue nit pic and fight

what I ever saw in you remains to be seen
loving you was a nightmare that destroyed all my dreams
the day you walked out on me you set my heart free
you were the cause of all my misery
