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.”
