Everyday you are so close
but yet so far
He is the one you chose
yet you're alone at the bar
your white shirt and ripped Levi's
reveal every bit of skin
yet no one sees the sadness in your eyes
that's how it's always been
You shake and move on the dance floor
no need for a rock band
All the guys want to love you more
but only as a one night stand
You've no girlfriends, just guys
that don't run too deep
you're creating your life's demise
and winking at your eternal sleep.
When your breath will fade away
no one will shed a single tear
"She was a menacing slut anyway"
a burden you'll always have to bear
Don't think that we're taking pity
for you never slightly cared
We're the only ones who'll see
that you fool yourself scared
Goodbye girl with the bleach hair
Your life merely a broken bone
for hell doesn't have a care
and there you'll forever be alone
What did you think

You have a great deal of wisdom and compassion showing in this piece, Poet. Too many people are alone and scared and behave in ways that may not even be their true natures, simply because they aren't comfortable enough or confident enough to be comfortable in their own skin, to stand up for themselves in a way that would make a difference in their situations. Well done, indeed.

welcome to allpoetry
Your last line of the fourth stanza stands out to me. That may be the most unique way I have seen that statement made.
This is a well written piece. Easy flow and rhyme... wonderfully put together.
Thank you for sharing, I hope you will continue to do so.
Enjoy your time on the site.

The girl no one knows and only cares about if they can screw her. Hmm. Yup. Seems like you are hurting and a fair bit struck by her.
Sorry for your hurt and pain. You have expressed it so well here and the emotion and feeling are palpable. I hope your heart heals and your mind comes around again. There are better "bets" out there, love. For sure.

Wow. I absolutely love it.
You did an incredible job.
My favourite part has got to be the first 2 lines of the 5th stanza
