Have you ever heard the line "you're a really nice guy"
If I'm so nice how come it's so easy to say good-bye
You'd rather go back to that asshole
As if life with me is too dull
Would it keep you on the edge of your seat
Wonderin' if you'll get beat
Do you like the feeling when
He decides to blow you off again
You deserve to be treated like gold
With you I could grow old
With me you're treated like a queen
How do you go back to someone who's so damn mean
You know what he's doing behind your back
I think it's about time you start to pack
Have you noticed that the bad outweighs the good
You need to do what any smart girl would
I'm waiting here in love with you
With open arms that long for you
But I won't even get a second glance
You'd rather take another chance
And this nice guy will finish last
After you have gone and had a blast
You'll start thinking about the past
And you'll come running real fast
I may be happier in the end
But it took so long to begin
The stress, it drags me down
The stress of you not being around
In the end I'm what you wish
But the truth is
Nice guys barely finish

Good one!!!I agree with you 100%...And I am a female...For some reason girls would rather have guys treat them really bad...Who knows why...I know I have a friend that is with a bad guy and wont leave him cuz she just had his 2nd kid...And its a shame that she stays with him after the way he treats her...You wrote an amazing poem and I give you props for it...Keep it up!!!

Hey, good job on this one!!   I like how you ended  it:
"But the truth is
Nice guys barely finish"
I think it's a really good poem

Considering the fact that it's your life and not mine I can't tell you what to do. I hope she comes back to you, but also why do you wanna be with someone who thinks you're not good enough? I don't understand. I hope things go in the direction you want it to. Stay on the high ground and take care of yourself. Great poem and I hope to read more asap! k?

this is a great poem,
I'm sorry, what can I say
life's just not fair.
Maybe you should stop trying to be so nice
get out there and slit somebody's throat.

Good Guys --- best friends material

I guess its true whatever you've said. But hey, some girls do come to their senses in the end and isn't it better to finish and get something that you want rather than not getting it at all. I guess if she comes back to you, she'd appreciate what she's got and never let go. Cheer up, think positive.

Love,
apsara

I understand exactly what you are saying. As a female, I can honestly tell you that I hate to be treated badly. I've had both. I've had the bad guy who flirts with my friends, and manipulates me beyond repair; the one who tries to "restrain me" so I'll be good.... And I've had the good one. The one who'd roll over shards of broken glass to get to me. The one who'd do nearly anything I ask of him, in a heartbeat. The truth is, we need someone in the middle. Someone to stand up for themselves, yet not be rude and harsh with us.. It may make no sense... but hey   sometimes you boys confuse us as well. Good writing, and when your girl gets out of the "tough luv" cycle, maybe she'll come around.

AWWWWW Dopey.... ya know i luv ya  

If you love someone dont put their name in a heart,
put their name in a circle, because a heart can be broken
but a circle is continious.
