I Need a Crystal Ball

Before I date I wish I had a crystal ball to consult, Then I could ply it with questions for a quick result. He claimed he was honest, a church-goer, and a stand-up guy, But all his smooth words was just a pie in the sky. He wined and dined me, and a pledge of love he made. But not long after, I realized it was just an unscrupulous charade. One night he sent a risqué text to me in error, intended for his wife. He was not divorced, and had a whole other life. A crystal ball would have saved me from all his lies. He wasn’t trustworthy, and had lying eyes. He is single now and after me constantly for a second chance. I said, “Take a hike… I don’t want your song and dance.”

Well "he" sounds like a loser that will never win your heart, my dear. I totally read your piece like you were personally confiding in me. Thank you for sharing. We done.
