Detours

Let's talk about 'detours'
In substance as in abundance
As I try to delude
Your distrustful, course-committed heart
But I guess, tolerance wasn't ever your strong suit
And there isn't much that I can put into use
When you clearly look so amused
With the crowning glory of your untimely youth
Can this be the Devil's age-old ruse?
Don't mistake me as hopeful
But let's just take a moment
And talk about 'detours'
Shall we?
