mercy kill
you got me on a hook
straight through the gills
laid at your boat deck mercy
waiting for the blow that kills
then suddenly I’m lifted up
and I’m examined all around
but I can’t get the hook out
already down for the count
i knew once you got me hooked
when you were dragging me in
i caught just one glance at you
i knew I’d never fight you again
when you pulled me around
after so called stringing me along
i won’t complain on that, baby
here, use the string to my thong
now i’m in big white bucket
and I’m surrounded by minnows
we will all fall to your picking but
can’t say we didn’t get the memo
take the hook out of my mouth
release the hold you have on me
even though you have me hooked
i know I will never again be free
but you got me on a hook
straight through the gills
just take me out of my misery
and we will call it a mercy kill

Liv, I chuckled reading this passsage, "we will all fall to your picking but
can’t say we didn’t get the memo "
The fishing metaphor is perfect. I think the thong line is clever...yeah just pull this string to unwrap the package...if that's what you meant...if not then forgive my impropriety.

Phew! I worried what if it's a philosophical thong and my baser instincts didn't allow me to see past the sexiness 🙄

Haha no, the hook, despite the idea, is quite.... yummy sometimes to be on, you know what I’m saying? :P

haha right, I mean, you’re only on the hook because you can’t resist temptation ;)

That's true because there isn't necessarily a barb there...based in my experience. BTW I like your new profile pic it catches that wisdom in your aspect. Okay diving Into your latest 😁

Much prefer catch and release, I got a chuckle reading the part about the string on thong line, I got a mental image of someone flinging a Sandle about on a string, as a thong in Australia is footwear.

Your imagery gets stronger and stronger)...but I can't help but be concerned about "what"you express (rather than "how" you express it). You owe yourself happiness...

You lost me there, luv. What do you mean what and how? DM me :) I’m curious what you’re speaking of! Thanks for coming to read and comment though, dear❤️

Mmmm, you're making me feel hungry with all this fish talk. The theme stays strong throughout & there are many sad lines in this one. The big white bucket, the contents at the mercy of his choosing is poignant.
Depends how many fish he caught, right? But if he needed a bucket, we can assume it was a lot.
