Her Loser Guy Friend

Friend zoned and in love. He wants this woman to see him.......

 

"Now you're confessing, but I'm still guessing

I've been your fool for so, so long......."

            - Huey Lewis & The News,  "If This is It"

 

Her Loser Guy Friend

 

 by Bridgey "You'reLikeMyLittleBrother" Crewe

 

 

 

I'm in love with someone

who's ridiculously blind

Not Stevie Wonder-like

Though sometimes I really wonder,

might she need a cane & canine

Cause I can't explain why from all these signs

and blinking turn signals down

this ONE WAY street of mine...

my street, she still forgoes

 

I'm in love with my best friend

 

And lord knows that with my intentions when mixed

With possibly destroying our friendship

I would need some holy intervention

That's extraordinarily divine

The kind that would open her eyes up to me understanding that

 All we all really want, is to be happy!

 

To find someone who can kiss our morning face when we are barely awake, with developing crow’s feet, dry skin and hair going in all directions, snoring and morning breathe resembling road kill on a hot intersection, and with our barely open, blood-shot and terribly swollen eyes, to find someone who can look into those eyes, and with genuine love, and personal pride...

still KISS US

 

 

I'm staring that type of understanding directly at her

But she's not even facing us

So face it, I must accept that I'm just....

Her Loser Guy Friend

The non-threatening, go-to-man

Resident of her friend zone

The male perspective adviser to her

When she's dealing with Mr. Wrong

The broad shouldered pillow,  

 Pathetic, platonic love,

The recipient of the oh so dreaded

                    "Separated pelvic hug"

The comforter, the doormat

The place-holder for another,

Dick-less omega

who's good enough to love

But not as a lover

 

I'm the amazing safe haven

For her precious feelings to stay in,  

The 'sleep in the same bed

gentleman lame'

Who wants her

but she doesn't feel the same

 

When she gives Mr. Wrong

The heart that should be mine

I'm right there

 

When Mr. Wrong breaks that heart

For the millionth time

I'm right there

 
When those so called friends of hers

Were whispering rumors

I was right there

 

When she called to tell me her father

Developed an inoperable tumor

I was right there

 

I was there for the pearly white smiles

And I was there for the pouty lip frowns

And as far as I'm concerned,

I will co-pilot all of her ups and downs

 

I just wish her sexual vision of me

was 20/20

She so blind, it's asinine really,

But I'm willing to patiently wait

And even if at the end of the

World's calendar dates and

My undying love never reciprocates...

 

I will be the Bestest Loser Guy Friend she's ever had!

 

I'm not her friend because

               I'm in love with her

I'm her Loser Guy Friend

    Simply because I love her

 

I just wish she could see me

Author's Note

This is a prequel to "I Can See Her(Punch Drunk Love)". I'm not sure as to why how it came about, but I think this is me(and in Punch Drunk) probably at the deepest part of myself.

I get you here, after all I am the Queen of the friend zone...wanna be my King?....lol
I really like this Bridge you cooked this one nicely. I felt the tug of war in the poem.
The desire to talk to her for hours, to be there for her, to hold her as more then a
friend. Rather then comforting her as you both fall asleep and she's awoken the next
morning by a phone call from her boyfriend. All this is happening while your praying she
sees that your staring at her a bit longer then usual, touching her more and she's so
blind to the fact that you want her......and I get it so nice Bridge can I steal your line right
quick?...............ENTER THE LIBRARY!!!

Bridgey, this poem really moved me. It's so touching and full of raw emotions. I felt like I was there witnessing your whole ordeal. You made the reader feel exactly what you were feeling as they we read each line. That takes great writing skill and awesome imagery on your part.

It's funny that I am reading a book about this same subject only it's the woman who's in love with her MALE bestfriend and he's in love with HER best friend.....lol. I can't wait to see how it ends! Anyway, I absolutely love this piece and I applaud you on your outstanding talent.

[Winter McPherson]

Such a sweet write. And it seems like it comes straight from the heart for how could you so accurately describe it. If not then you've embodied it fantastically.
Love these lines:
The non-threatening, go to guy, resident of her "friend zone", the male perspective adviser to her when she's dealing with Mr. Wrong

The broad shouldered pillow, dick-less omega, platonic love, The recipient of the dreaded "separated pelvic hug",
Great write!

[deeps]

Oh! Wow! Bridgey, I love this, I can really feel this write, wonderful write, sad really but so expressive, love it

[Shellie]

I love this poem Bridgey, its heartbreaking to know about your feelings. Unrequited love is unbelievably horrible. Is there ANYTHING you can do???

[Marquise]

my goodness, you are really good! how did i miss his poem?
shame on me and everyone else lol

I was there for the pearly white smiles

And I was there for the pouty lip frowns

And as far as I'm concerned, I will co-pilot all of her ups and downs

very well written!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A hilarious opening... yes it is entertaining and gripping, like so many others i have been here as well but never could put it quite the way you do... awesome write.

[Seriana]

Boy, when I need entertainment, TRUE writing entertainment, I read your stuff. This is fantastic! I love it. Everything of yours flows, it just bleeds right into the next line. Fluid motion....I love it. And this topic....yeah, been there, done that. I feel ya. Thanks for sharing!

[Str8jacket]

I can relate to this poem so much. It kinda sucks to realize this stuff doesn't get any less complicated as you get older, but we can always cling to hope. Maybe one day she will see that what she needed was right in front of her all along. Sometimes things don't work out the way we wish they would, but we learn from them and grow to be stronger people because of that. So never give up hope. This poem is written so well. Your emotions are conveyed so powerfully and openly, that it makes it so much more upsetting to know how much pain you're in. I hope everything works out okay for you :)

Bridgey.......What possessed you to use that light behind color? lol I was squinting at my desk trying to see what that part said.

You know you write better than most so I dont have to tell you that. This poem was very intense. I almost felt sorry for the friend but with every action comes a reaction so it may have been best that he stayed her friend. We, as females, SOMETIMES cling to our friend more than our mates. We can share all and tell all to a degree but we know they will be honest in their answers. At least thats how it is with real friends.

Great work on this one.

Live, Love and Learn
