Devotion Hurts
Everything I do I do for you.
You seem to be unaware of what I do.
I always go out of my way to please you.
This you take for granite too.
Forget one thing & your quick with criticism.
Yet, when all is right your slow with the kissin
Have we been together that long?
Are you bored when I’m home & happy when I’m gone?
Interests we used to share no longer happen.
You’re no longer Tennille & I’m not the Captain.
I’m sliding down a hill with banana peels for shoes.
I’m no longer winning for fear I will lose.
I am sure there is a song that ends without a hitch.
It’s just that it’s hard to think when your such a bitch.
I have suggested counseling, but you just say why?
Is it that you have already found another guy?
This is not how it was when the relationship was new.
I’ve said this but, it seems to mean nothing to you.
These are changes anyone can see.
I don’t think the changes are just going on in me.
Anything that you can do? I’m hurting here.
I really miss you, dear—————————R. W. Johnson—–(2013)
