When love takes you for a ride, what do you do? You come full circle.
 



Carnival Attraction 

* 

I'm through! 

So done with lies. 

I can't live like this. 

The pain isn't worth it. 

Not when I've come so far 

in defeating the past. 

* 

The dreaded day has arrived. 

Off to find a new path. 

Can't depend on you 

with this growing distance. 

If you won't draw me closer, 

than cut me loose! 

* 

Scenes of misguided betrayal 

float in my head. 

You slept with her! 

I slept with him. 

You don't listen. 

I'm at a loss for words. 

* 

Anguishing anger. 

Disillusioned dreams. 

Lingering lust. 

I don't deserve this! 

I should be treated with respect. 

Instead I'm deemed improper. 

* 

Life goes on. 

The wheels keep turning. 

No time to stop. 

Can't get off this roller coaster 

I've been on for too long. 

Wish I could say I don't love you. 

* 

A new day dawns.
