Entering in with a fake smile
a closed-off, don't touch me attitude
didn't detour you, you dived in,
pulled me with you.
Caused me to spiral out of control
while somehow you lagged
caught a ledge- a helping hand
and fell another way, for her.
After months of texts
and flirting comments, grins,
a helping hand on a ladder,
would-be moves on gravel roads.
Everyone noticing it,
gossiping
and you smiled at them when they asked
left them guessing.
Made me think there was a chance,
finally a good guy
fell for someone less than anything
but, you got eyes for her.
Knowing its no one's fault
doesn't make it easier
digs a knife into the hurt
and makes me cry at night.
I'm not mad, I swear it I say,
she's my best friend,
I love her,
and you can't help emotions you gained.
When my phone goes off
its still always you
and I answer
listen while you talk about her.
My heart breaks everytime,
but I still respond to you.
People have always said I'm too nice. |
