"friendzoned" poems
I make you smile but I don't make you laugh.
I make you sing but the lyrics aren't for me.
I watch you dance but your eyes don't focus on me.
My evening thoughts are all about you but yours aren't about me.
I like you as a lover but you like me as a friend.
But all those things are okay with me. But when I told you that I loved you, and you said "I'm sorry but I don't love you."
It broke my heart.
Funny thing is, I still love you with all the shattered pieces.

Before I sleep, I glimpse at my star.
It twinkles under where my lashes are.
Only to whisper about who you are.
“He’s just a friend my dear” said the star.

Well, unfortunately, I am completely comprised of empathy
and my heart is so broken seeing yours break because of me.
It's a vice grip just inside my rib cage ******* with my heart,
in some moments, it stops and I think it won't start.
All I want is to make everybody happy,
but that's not going to work if you want me;
and if that is all that drives your soul,
you will be let down and it will take a toll
on your ability to face the day and conquer it with a smile.
I know that you've done everything; gone beyond the extra mile.
I know there are so many good things that it's almost hard to say no,
and then sometimes, goodbye hugs are almost impossible to let go.
However, I've thought hard about this, since knowing you,
and I know that I would not be happy, and that is sadly true.
I can honestly feel how much that truth hurts,
it hurts more than I can describe with any words.
I feel guilty; I always wish you to have anything you seek,
and I'm a sucker to please people; it's what makes me weak,
but if all you want is my unconditional love for you,
that is not something I can give, not something I can do.
I can't be in a relationship if my gut tells me not to,
and I get a negative instinct when I think of us two.
I know you want to take care of me and just love me,
but I feel so wrong taking and not giving back freely.
I know you know how I feel and I wish you'd see I can't change,
I just want to stop hurting you, and stop our chest pangs.
I am sorry for the friend zone, but I can't cross these lines,
there will be another who will save you, everything will be fine.

There are so many guys,
who think they're the nice guy,
they think girls only date,
********
These 'nice guys' will be friends,
with the girl they like,
they will tell them they care,
every time.
They think they're good friends,
they'll ignore all the signs,
that perhaps the girl isn't,
interested.
They'll declare love for the girl,
only to be 'friendzoned',
then they'll go online and,
complain.
They don't want to be friends,
they wanted love,
unfortunately,
they didn't see the love in friendship.

Friendzone me

when you friendzoned me my heart dropped out of my body.
i just thought about what life was.
my life was changed.
after that day my life changed.
i turned into something that i'll never become.
i started going after girls that i could never get.
now you've moved on.
i still think about you.
that day is just a clear memory in my mind.
i loved you.
now i just love to see your smile now.
i've been friendzoned by so many girls.
you ladies have to remember sooner or later i'm gonna become you need.
someone out in this cruel world is gonna love me for me.
love is such a strong word, but hey all the girls that friendzoned me i had a certain amount of love for you.

its a new year
i'm tired of all the ********
girls usually don't like me which makes me wonder
they always go for guys that will break in the end
they always wonder "where are all the good guys?"
you literally come to me and ask me that same question
i've been friendzoned multiple times
i don't care anymore
these females really don't think of the guys they hurt
remember your'e always gonna see that guy you friendzoned
he will move on and you'll be trying to get back into his life
all guys that have been friendzoned find someone prettier or way more better than you will ever be
i'm just tired of the insecure females
who always say, "oh I'm fat"
when literally your a skinny little girl

Dear friend, I know you're in so much sorrow and I know how you always try to fake a smile. But please, make it more authentic? I would know because you and I, have been a part of each other, inseparable, on the same rhythm.
Dear friend, it has been a year since we last spoke about our whereabouts, it has been a year since we forgot each other. You chose to be with people who have the capacity to not ask if things have been great for you, or not. But I chose to ask, because I choose you.
Dear friend, I was always wondering how life could be so mundane, more so that death itself doesn't feel as threatening as losing you. You kept the easy ones, but gave away your friend who has always been there during Saturday nights where you would cry your heart out over some one who treated you like ********
Dear friend, I did everything to make you stay, convinced you to not go back from the hands that hurt you. You have been addicted to your own destruction. And you chose him, over me. And I am sorry, I am not him. I refuse to be someone I am not.
Dear friend, I hate seeing you go, but if you really must, please come back. Please come back with my heart. And please, when you come back, never take it again. Because I refuse to be your pseudo lover, I refuse to be unnoticed. I refuse to be refused of love.

Maybe I should stop talking to him
He friendzoned me
He clearly told me that he doesn't wanna be anything more than just friends
But maybe there is hope
But maybe I am wrong
Maybe I am annoying him
Maybe he is just too polite to tell me that
But why is he so nice...but yet so mean
I feel sorry for him
I don't even know why
My eyes are filled with tears
My heart is filled with pain
But my mind
My mind is filled with anger
And I wanna make him sorry for his words:
You mean a lot to me, but i would rather see that we just stay friends.

he was looking at her
her mistakes and petty trouble
he says he loves her because of that
he looks at her more and less of me
he tells me his troubles
oh and I think I am the one concerned
for I toss and turn and bleed
for its me who hurts most and her the least
he tells me his secrets
and I tell him I'll be quiet as I can be
but the bottle has been crushed
I am not amused at the very least
he made me mad
while her... fall fast asleep
he tell me he loves her
and me his bottle of list
I cannot hold on
I needed to move on
for I fall and fall hard for him
but he never sees me and never will
I will fall and break
nothing will say 'poor ye girl'
for I was not warned
this was the consequence of falling in love to someone.

People don't fall in love with the death they see in me
They just notice the glimmers of life left in me
I like to run away from their love because
Everything that is around me goes madder then the hatter
I try to save them all from myself, from the monster in me
But tonight I am all alone and I need someone who isn't friendzoned
I lay in my bed, dead thoughts float in the deep water in my head
I would love to have a lover or two who know just what to do
But an undead lover is hard to find, they don't make them anymore
And I certainly don't want a human manwhore to come knocking at my door
So here I lay hating all that is alive and wishing even more of me were dead inside
I run all throughout the day, from the sunlight I try to get away
For the sun shows off my morgue styled scars and the blueness of my skin
But at night no body knows, no one gets who I actually am
I dress to impress and wear perfume to mask the rotting smell of my breath
No one seems to care that the putrid smell lingers everywhere

Went through so much together
Until you hurt me so much
Had to leave you
Before there was nothing left of us
Day by day, things got worse
Friendzoned from mistakes I made
Not saying I didn't deserve it, still hurts
Can't say, you aren't always on my mind
Everything that could have been
Now a distant memory
Didn't want me in all the ways I wanted you
After everything I said
After all the assumptions that ****** with my head
Even after all of that, Even after hitting rock bottom
Still, want you, Still, need you
I was better when I was with you
Even after all the ways
you broke my heart
I'm still in love with you
You're everything I see
You're everything I dreamed
Even after all the ways
You shattered my soul
I'm still in love with you
And I hope you understand
I still want to be your man
I still want you to be my world
I still want you to be my girl
And maybe this all falls on deaf ears
And maybe you'll never read this
Put it in a letter, just so you know
All that you mean to me
Maybe one day, you will see
I was sincere in these words I wrote
Maybe one day, you will see
You should have been with me
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
There's no distance that could stop me
From making it to you
Even if you're sent to heaven
I'll follow you there
Hell couldn't hold me back
If I was what you wanted
I'd be there
With you is where I want to be
Even after all the ways
you broke my heart
I'm still in love with you
You're everything I see
You're everything I dreamed
Even after all the ways
You shattered my soul
I'm still in love with you
And I hope you understand
I still want to be your man
I still want you to be my world
I still want you to be my girl
And I'll never live down
The hurt that I caused
And I was stupid
For letting go
Of the one girl, I truly loved
And they said to have faith in
“Gods plans”
But, I questioned his plans
With the way we ended
All I'm left with now is what “ifs”
and a longing for your touch and kiss
And I hunger for your graceful gaze
And the way you light up my face
I miss us and the way we talked
I miss everything we were
But most of all I miss you
Even after all the ways
you broke my heart
I'm still in love with you
You're everything I see
You're everything I dreamed
Even after all the ways
You shattered my soul
I'm still in love with you
And I hope you understand
I still want to be your man
I still want you to be my world
I still want you to be my girl

I have been
Friendzoned,
Many a time.
It is a common experience
Among both geneders,
For it is truly
The best way
Do deal
With that issue.
But now,
Now let me tell you
Of a far greater pain
And longing.
For I have been
Timezoned.
For my love,
She is across the country,
Our great country,
Our far too expansive country.
She is over hills and mountains,
Rivers and valleys,
Plains and forests.
She is over the Appalachians,
Past the Blue Ridge
Around the myriad waterfalls
Of Western North Carolina,
All sparkling in their magnificence
As the light crests over the hill,
Spilling into their deep pools
And flowing drops,
Yet they all,
All of them,
Pale in comparison to her,
To her golden skin,
Her flashing eyes,
Her smile
That beams down upon you
And radiates with
Joy and happiness,
And her hair,
So-called ***** blonde,
But to me,
There is no purer,
For it flows
More freely
Than the waterfalls
And looks
Even more gorgeous
As the sunlight hits.
For she is more beautiful
Than a Sunset
Upon the lake
Where she lives.
She is over the great Mississippi,
Which flows from Canada
All the way to the Gulf of Mexico,
Streaming across our country
As a boarder
Twixt east
And west.
The only thing
Even larger
That I know
Is her kindness
And compassion,
For those are
Without end.
She lies
Past the cornfields of Nebraska
And past the plains
Of the olden tribes.
My love lies beyond them,
And of all things
She alone
Could make those miles of wheat
Joyous
To drive through.
She lies over the Rockies,
Past the Tetons,
And around the great apple orchards
Of her state.
For her I would climb
The Rockies,
Tunnel through
The Tetons,
And harvest
Every apple
In the state.
But alas,
That would help me
No more
Than hacking off a limb.
To be timezoned then,
Is to end
What barely began
Not because
Anyone wants to
But because
Simple geography
And age
Makes it impossible.
It feels far worse
Knowing that,
If you were there,
If you lived within
A three-hour drive,
You would be
With her.
But alas,
I am not.
I live
Forty-five hours
Of non-stop driving
To the east
And south.
A seventy-hour long bus ride,
And a 6 hour long flight.
And yet I know
That if I were there
I would be with her.
But I am not,
And so someone else
Is.
What hurts
More than rejection
Is acceptance
And then having
The cruel fates
Swoop down
And stop
What would have been
Amazing.
What could have been
Perfection.
But what was instead
That
Which barely
Happened.

She's so wonderful
She's so cute
She's so pretty
She's my everything
She's so intelligent
She's so beautiful
She's so lovely
She's the one I love
She's the one I need
She's the one who stole my heart
She's definitely my boss
She's such a dynamite gal
She's the reason of every smile
She's my inspiration
She's irresistible
She's my perfect bliss
She's my life
She's a goddess
She gave me a heart attack
She spin my head off
She broke my heart
She rejected me
She friendzoned me
She made me an F.A.
She didn't love me back
She made me cry
But in the end
She's still the one I need
She's still my perfect bliss
She's still my boss
She's still still a goddess
She's still my one direction
She's still the reason of each smile
She's still my life
But the most important of the things which mentioned
Is she's still the one I love

Let me start off with a story that's pretty easy to tell
Boy Meets Girl
Boy and girl talk
Boy and girl become friends
Girl is already dating someone but it's fine
Girl gets heartbroken
Boy sticks by her and cheers her up
Girl is thankful for support
Boy develops crush
Boy is confused, he has feelings but doesn't want to hurt the friendship
Boy finally decides to tell girl how he feels
Girl responds with "I like you but not like that"
Boy, naturally hurt, decides to stay around, thinking he'll have a chance with her.
Girl dates another guy.. gets heartbroken
Boy plays crying shoulder again
The cycle repeats himself
Boy finally gives up on girl and moves on.
Boy Meets another girl, Girl he had crush on realizes that he would've been husband material had she seen it
Boy and girl never speak, wondering what would've been.
So ladies take a small lesson from this story
If you're looking for someone to appreciate all your glory
If you want someone to appreciate the happiness in your space
most of the time, what you're looking for
is right in front of your face.

It's been years since I actually missed her
And its a surprise because I thought I was done dreaming of her forever
Not only did she break my heart
But I grew to hate the things we both shared, like a broken handle on a cart.
At one point during these 7 years I became delusional
Creating a fake relationship for her and I, utterly insane, no?
I wanted her and I to be a thing once upon a time
I considered myself to be a nickel and her a dime
Embarrassingly enough to say, but even before we became friends I had set my sights on becoming her man
Unfortunately, I was too hasty in my confession resulting in my unused plan.
I tried to not let it bother me and I was able to move on eventually
Until of course I found out she was interested in my best friend, not surprisingly.
He was pretty popular unlike me
I, however, wanted to be useful to her so I listened to her "gush" over him because that's what a friendzoned 'nice guy' does ,right?
His feelings don't matter so there's no point putting up a fight.
If she's actually interested in you she'll make those feelings known.
I couldn't understand that back then, but I can now since I've grown.
It's been 7 years since she released me from her life.
I became so jaded and bitter from all that strife.
The nickel that wanted to be with a dime
Can't believe I dreamt about her after all this time.

I can't help but think that part of me loves you.
But we know that, I do love you. But this feels different, like a different kind of love. Something I've never felt before, something I don't know how to feel.
I'm scared to love because I'm scared to lose.
I can't love more than I do because I've put so much forth towards the relationship we have now. But I can't help but think that part of me loves you.
I miss you more often than not, I love the times we are able to talk, and even better, FaceTime.
But I can't love you. I just can't.
And if I did, I'd most definitely be friendzoned by now.
There's just something to you. A caring, kindhearted, wonderful human being with a special soul.
But I just can't love you, I can't.
These are things I want to tell you, but instead keep hidden deep down inside. Because I can't love you.
Yet, I look for pieces of you in every guy I meet. Every guy I'm interested in. Hoping they can be as amazing as you and give me all that you have. You treat me right, you treat me like a lady. You encourage me to follow my dreams and tell me when I'm being insane.
So maybe there is a part of me that truly loves you, more than I do now.
But I can't love you like that, I just can't.

you're nothing but a wish on a shooting star
it seems like you're near but so **** far
memories turned into movies playing in my head
wondering about the things we did and said
all the memories makes me want to abandon and run
i couldn't stand to watch you fall in love with someone
it seems i couldn't do anything to make you stay
so its better this way to let you go your way
it make me sick to think i wasn't the one for you
i was there for you when you were happy and blue
now those memories haunt me and i'm going insane
i had to let you go cause i was sickened with pain
things would have been different if you were with me
i know your every fear, i know what can make you happy
but yet you go for random guys who don't know you well
who break you heart into two while relationships horribly fail

Oo, na-friendzoned ako
Sa taong sinabihan ako
Na mahal niya ako
Sobrang sakit nung malaman ko
Na ang nararamdaman niya'y di totoo
Pinafall niya lang ako
Ngunit di ako sinalo
Labis akong nasaktan
Sa aking kinahinatnan
Mahal niya ako pero bilang kaibigan lang
Akala ko mahal niya ako more than friends
Pero as a friend lang talaga
Oo, paasa ka!
Walangya ka
Pero mahal pa rin kita.

i miss you
going home at night isn't the same
you literally meant the world to be
but you obviously can't see that
the other ones don't make me feel the same
because they aren't you
i never even got to call you mine
and that's what hurts the most
"friendzoned"
you're lovely
but i'm average
i wish you could make someone fall in love with you
because technically they made you fall in love with them
i'm sorry for the rant
you don't have to read anymore
i miss you

I hate that all the dating today is just one big game
All the ******** who capitalize they are all just the same
And its to bad because they give me a bad name
I guess I'm just too nice and sweet yet i have antigame
It works against me in almost every single way
Try to be honest and kind
But thats not what they are looking to find
They want someone to pull their hair and maybe beat them up
But honestly I've heard this all before and I'm getting real fed up
Maybe i should act the **** so i can not get ******
They say i should stay the same and the girls will see whats up
But being who i am gets me friendzoned and that just *****

I've known you for years
You're my best friend
I thought nothing would change
Until it did
You told me you love me
But I don't see you that way
You ask for a chance
I say give it your best shot
Get me hooked
Make it so I'll love you
As much as you love me
Get me hooked
So I can't see you
As my brother
Get me hooked
So I want you
With every fiber of my being
I'll give you your chance
Only because I know something you don't
I can't live without you
It's not love yet
But I'm already hooked
Hooked on your sense of humor
On the way you treat me
On all your cute little corks
On you
So can you do it?
Can you get me hooked
In the way you want?
Or will you fall short
And be friendzoned?
All I have to say is
Before it's too late
Get me hooked

Falling in love is stupid.
No, like, on the realist **** it is.
First reason why it's stupid:
You can't decide who you fall in love with.
Like what the **** is that about?!
All of your being just tells you,
*Hey you see that person over there?
Well you are going to value them so much,
They are going to make you happy and sad all at the same time
And you won't be able to properly communicate to them how you feel.
And then you'll be friendzoned and it will be the most painful thing that you have ever experienced and you don't know if you'll ever actually get over it.
Doesn't that sound great?*
**NO IT ******* DOESN'T**
