*This isnt really good, just writing as i thought,so dont be too harsh please*

Friends with Benefits
Thats what we call ourselves
For lack of a better term.

We cant go out.
We live too far away.
You couldnt handle long distance.
Thats the excuse you give me.

I love you
Thats what we tell eachother
and yet,You still want to ask HER out.
why do you want her if you love me?

I go to your room
We have our fun
When i am in town

But i cant help but wonder
what you do with other girls
when im not around.

I love being in your arms
and feeling your sweet kiss
but i know this is wrong.

I have grown to love you.
You picked up the pieces
when Jason dropped my heart.
And i know you like me
But do you love me?
Are we really just friends with benefits?
or are you using me?

Death is but an escape from loneliness

I feel your pain(sorta). This guy definitely sounds like he believes himself to be a "playa". I like how you conveyed this. Good job

how sad....I don't know what to say....except you might want to find a "friend" of that nature, a bit closer to home.....ya know, one you can call boyfriend?

I'd let go of the friendly fling........

Britt- This was an Awesome piece!
Crappy situation you are in though... Sounds like you need to sit and have a heart to heart with this guy and ask all your questions about him and you.
Anyway- I really liked this!

Bad situation, but a beautiful poem came out of it. Nicely done here!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Believe me when I say this doesn't just happen to women. Been in a "relationship" like this myself and I was on the recieving end of the pain. Well written. Loved it!

If life's a stage
We write the script
Personality the pen
The final act the final part
We all will meet our end

I believe you left out this miniscule detail when we talked. But thats OK. Great poem. I know the feeling all too well. But just keep your head up. Great job!

Ok the situation totally sucks...it could work out for you...but yet would you really want this boy if you know deep down in your heart that he is capable of doing this? I am totally feeling this one and I know how wonderful life seems WHEN you are with him..but does that really make up for the lonliness and hurt you feel when you arent? I hope things work out for you and I wish nothing but the best for you. This poem was great.
