The "Friend"

I seem to be the girl,
Whose always chosen as the "friend".
I'm never the one,
To end up with the guy in the end.
I'm the one that gets screwed over,
In front of my very own eyes.
Too weak to fight,
Too strong to cry.
When i do get the guy,
It never works out.
I'm too gentle to fight,
Forget scream and shout...
Well i'm tired of being the friend,
It's not that much fun.
I want to be the one needed,
When your problems are done.
You always thinks i'll be there for you,
I'll never turn my back.
Forgivness and sympathy is a quality,
That a person of my nature could never lack.
Well understand me,
I'm in a lot of pain.
I fell for you my friend,
And you are to blame.
Your so sweet and so pure,
I cant help but like you.
If only i could i'd just let go,
But theres nothing i can do.
Can we change this around?
This awful pattern of mine.
Can we not just be friends?
I think its our time...
Tell me that you want me,
Tell me it is I who you need.
My heart just recovered,
Dont let it yet again bleed.
I'm always stuck,
Being that awful friend.
I ask of you this,
Can u please make this lonely trend end?

Excellent poem girl!! I'm sorry you're going through this right now.. Maybe it would help if you gave him this poem?  Although if I were you I would rather die than do that.. hmm... (i'm of chicken variety)

Anyways!   Good Luck with everything!!!

OH no!! I take it things didnt go well? Dang, that totally sucks. WELL..i guess the only thing you can do is hold onto your feelings and stay a good friend to him, and if hes worth your time at all he'll see you for more then a friend. Maybe he's just afraid to get into a "more then friends" relationship, afraid he'll lose you forever if you breakup. Thats been told to me before, and ive told that to someone before..so hang in there. IF it wasnt meant to be, just think someone better is out there searching for you

Oh dearie me!  I know how you are feeling...  I was the same when I was at school too!  But let me assure you that being more than friends isn't always a good thing!  After I left school a great male friend whom i liked about 12 months prior told me that he had loved me for about the last 11 months then he left home two days later.  He knew I used to like him but never realised that I still felt the same!  He is now in Adelaide and I am in Brisbane.  He is following his dreams of being a mechanic in the air force and I am in our home town doing a university degree.  I haven't spoken to him since he told me and he is due to come home for 2 weeks on the 22nd of December!  Since he has been gone (5 weeks) I have meet someone else - I don't know how we are going  and I don't know what I am going to tell him when he comes to see me in 9 days - but I guess I will have to tell him the truth - whatever that may be!  So let me assure you - sometimes you really would rather that you were just friends!  Love can be too confusing and hurtful!!

Hope that all works out well for you all!

Melz!!

This was great, and I surely hope that things work out in the end for you.

Great job of getting these thoughts onto the paper (or keyboard).  I think you did a great job of describing this

xShUgArHiGhx maybe give guys a couple years they'll learn from their mistakes. I dated this really nice guy for a year and we learned from our mistakes, it wasn't a bad break up. You can ask him . He's my best friend even though we have our moments we still get back as friends.
But a good poem, I think you should print this and give it to your ex because then he understands how you feel and maybe he'll be better.
