No Fishing

Embedded image from another site

Open my insides then fill me up with your lies
Tell me that you love me then rip my heart through my spine
Say that you'll always be there and then run far away
But a part of me was always certain that you'd never stay
First there was Megan an old friend I found on Face Book
Until a mutual friend said that she was a known prostitute
Then there was Janelle I knew her since the fourth grade
I knew that one day I'd love her but she moved far away
Then she came back a successful psychiatrist
But compared to her patients she was the absolute craziest
Then one night I met Micah at Elizabeth's house
I gave her a tattoo and that night we went out
We talked about mars, the moon, and the sky
For once in my life the galaxies were aligned
About after two weeks I was floating in bliss
She took my truck to the store, but first she gave me a kiss
Than after an hour I felt something was wrong
She still wasn't back I put the movie on pause
I began to call her, but only got her voice mail
At first I was angry, then hurt, and then scared
The next morning I woke up and to my dismay
My Nissan Frontier was still not in my drive way
Then I called the police and filed a stolen report
He said son are you stupid I said no Im a dork
I never would have thought she'd what what me in the butt
But Officer Goddammit shes gone and I just want my truck
Are there any nice women left on this forsaken earth
One who values our friendship and knows what she's worth
Ive been been single for years theres no more fish in the sea
The waters far too polluted and they've all grown webbed feet
Or maybe three arms, six toes, and two heads
Ive been swimming in this rotten filthy sea of the dead
Women possess me but they never are mine
Nice guys finish last, but Im still standing in line
So rip open my insides and fill me up with your lies
Tell me you love me then rip my heart through my spine
Say that you'll always be there to enlighten my day
But f*ck it no thank you I think I'll just stay away
And Ill write to my congress please clean up the reefs
Because its no longer safe for swimming and its filling with zombies

LOL thank you Elle, this is a true story I have my truck back but its in pieces cause she wrecked it and fortunately I have a paint and body shop so my insurance is paying me to fix it. I know that all women aren't mutants I just have a series of unfortunate events with a few as I try this dating thing again. Cheers … Jessewine
