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!!!

[Lyrical Love]

You are an amazing writer. You always deliver that Bridgey feel/finesse-with your
insight on an issue or topic that hits home for most of us at some point during our lives.
Another enjoyable piece.

Bridgey....
I LOVE this poem. I just love it. I can feel the longing, the frustration, the reluctant acceptance. The ever-vigilant unrequited love. This piece just breaks my heart, it puts me in the mind of the narrator, the heart of the narrator. I love this. It makes me emotional.

And the Huey Lewis and the News quote???
Will you marry me? :)

You got another one Mr. Bridgey "Always hitting them out the park" Crewe. I can relate to this piece so much that its not even funny. I was always that bull too, never could get no "yams" but there through the thick and thin. This is really well written. I think could have been just as easy for you to bitter about the whole situation, I mean who really wants to keep running into a brick wall? But you said it best....

"I will be the bestest Loser Male Friend

she's ever had!



I'm not her friend because

I'm in love with her

I'm her Loser Male Friend

simply because I love her



I just wish she could see me............."

"I'm not her friend because
I'm in love with her
I'm her Loser Male Friend
simply because I love her
I just wish she could see me............." POWERFUL & PERFECT ending lines here. many girls are this way, so caught up in the guy that treats them the worst, blinded by 'love', unable to see they already have the perfect guy in their lives. i love this write. the flow is amazing, the content so heart-felt, so emotional. & the part about the 'morning face', hilarious. and again, the ending, is perfect. a great write.

[ANNA]

Maybe this is the one you told me to stay away from! lol If this is it, You were right but this is not about me soooooooo! ;)

Ya, WOWOWOWOWOWOW, You didn't over do it or under do it! You capture what a lot of people go through day to day. I'm really am speechless at this moment. Well because I guess I was thinking this was going to be about something else. You surprise me with every poem and that is hard. I never know what way you are going with your writing and I FREAKING LOVE IT!! lol The emotion in this piece brought me to remember the lil things I miss out on.

My fav lines where::)
but they can look into those eyes,
and with genuine love, and appreciation......... kiss us

The recipient of the dreaded "separated pelvic hug",
the comforter, the sleep in the same bed lame,
the man who wants to love her,
but she doesn't feel the same

I'm not her friend because
I'm in love with her
I'm her Loser Male Friend
simply because I love her..................My fav poem!!!!

[Phantom Heart]

Wow! This is a fantastic piece of writing. You capture your position so well!

[24KMind]

Great new piece!

[Bud]

You captured with perfection the tormented love that I became a veteran of. I especially love the line

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

The sacrifices one makes in the name of love...what more can you say? Excellent work!!!
