I just lied to my best friend
I told her I no longer like him
Now my heart suffers
I just want to be able to look at him
Without the blush creeping up my face
To be able to talk to him
Without losing my place
I want everyone to just butt out
It’s my life, don’t you see?
So go away
And let me deal
With the emotions that surround me

I think the first five lines in this were somewhat interesting--even though this is a common subject for poetry. IMO, the first two lines are what keep it from falling completely into the dustbin of commonality. You should build on that.

If you must carp: Carpe diem!
