Maybe it’d work if I was pretty
I’d starve for days
To make my waistline itty bitty
Maybe if I fixed my split ends
I’d be worth something
And we could be more than friends
Maybe if I didn’t eat like a pig
He’d see something in me
If my ass and thighs weren’t so big
Maybe if my teeth weren’t so yellow
I’d stand out as something special
He’d never tell me no
Maybe if my nails didn’t look like shit
He’d think of me more often
Cause I don’t believe he ever thinks of it
Maybe if I calmed down some
Wasn’t so annoying and obnoxious
And acted way less dumb
Maybe if I only listen to rock
We’ll have more in common
And we can have that talk
Maybe if I was a bitch less
He’d look at me a different way
And even be impressed
Maybe if I just let go
And just accept the fact
That I’ll never know
Maybe if I stop hoping for love
And deal with only sex
I’ll know what he’s thinking of
Maybe if I get the courage to ask how he feels
He’ll say he loves me too
And I’ll do fucking cart wheels
Maybe I’ll just ignore my wish
So I don’t lose him as a friend
And I’ll spend my time in anguish
It’s smartest to just cry alone
Shove the pain away
And get completely stoned
I’ll just sit on the friend side
Watch him find another girl
And never tell him that I lied
I’m a coward, I can’t even say I tried...

Well...I think it's obvious what this is about and what I was feeling. First time in my entire life I'd fallen head over heels for someone like that. Been swearing since I was 4 years old I'd never get all goofy, whiney and pathetic like other girls did over relationships.
What Do You Think?

Amazing, had it before. It hurts doesn't it, but still an amazing poem. Great writing, my friend, keep it up. I totally understand how you feel.
