Asshole Magnet
by
Jae B.
Yeah,
I know
it seems
a little harsh to say.
But with everything in me
I mean wholeheartedly
here on this day.
Sometimes I feel
like an asshole magnet.
Because I just seem to continuously attract
the same type of
selfish
self-centered
unfeeling
emotionless
almost heartless
dysfunctional beings
that are completely insensitive
to my inner most needs.
Not to mention the fact that they all have
the same stupid sayings
for example
"it's all about me"
or
"I need space"
or
"maybe it's not our time"
and my personal favorite
"it's not you babe, its me"
Now mind you that all comes after the
"you're so special, sweetie...my own personal angel"
'you mean the world to me"
"I've never met anyone like you before'
"You're what I need"
"exactly what I've been waiting for"
"you're so good for me"
and as soon as
your heart opens up
and you're weak in the knees
BAM!!!!!
blided sided with
absence makes the heart grows
fonder
Oh yeah!
after you've filled me with all these
false hopes and dreams
of being your everything.
Yeah
I know
it seems
a little harsh to say
but with everything in me
I mean it wholeheartedly
here on this day
truly I do feel
like an asshole magnet.
When the raw truth is
I would have done
anything for you
once upon a time
I was a hopeless romantic
but nowadays
my soul is no place for a romantic
but it is hopeless
empty
a barren land
a festering swamp
not fit for any type of inhabitant
it's probably
just best for me to be alone
cause I really don't even think
that I have a soul
not anymore...
I have only a few questions to ask
before I carry my Black ass home...
I mean were you born that way
or do you just work hard at perfecting your assinine ways?
No!... really
Inquiring minds wanna know.
I mean,
Is
it in your genes?
Dangling somewhere from your family tree?
Deeply embedded in your DNA?
You know what....
never mind
it's no longer important to me
So I'm here
crying on this day
alone, bewildered and empty inside
and yeah
I know it seems
a little harsh to say
but with everything in me
I mean it wholeheartedly
here on this day
truly I do feel
like an asshole magnet.
