Nursery Rhyme for the Broken Hearted


I've never met Prince Charming Never had a "noble knight" I am my own stability I've been my only light You've killed me with your lack of words I've suffocated in neglect And all I sought was your approval In exchange for my self respect Your deception clouded my perception I mistook "love" for your erection But darling I failed to mention I still have my intellect And time may never heal me Never ease this pain I feel But at least I've learned my lesson My love for me is the ONLY love that is real.
