FRIEND ZONE
Sayonara
Its been almost three suns,
two book spines,
and an unresponded text,
since last time we spoke.
You were in China
and you came back with a dragon on your skin.
How do you say in chinese: I love you.
Nevermind. The feelings I hold are too lame, and too late.
Maybe its me.
I waited till lockdown to spill the content of my heart
All the understanding, the concernes and future fears
The facades, and the prosthetic ears
I speak in my plastic cup
And you came and cut the string
While you hide secrets under your skirt
Seeing you in the sink, through the garbage disposal
Seeing you through glasses, tinted in pink
Am I missing you, or someone, or something in me?
Am I messing with someone? And is it me?
Eyes that live by dichotomy
Die by the blade, Chien Andalou.
Am I missing the point in here?
For the love of delusion
I kept this object a secret and I called it A (...)
I am letting this blotch of rainbow
melt in memory
Its you, and me
Now, we are just fantasies
No texts, and no numbers
to dial our way back home
How do you say "Good bye" in Japanese?

What Could’ve Been
Time has passed
We’ve both changed
From what, where, why and when
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
We’re two different people
From those kids we knew
Even though we resemble them
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
It was a missed opportunity of yesteryear
When we labeled each other as,
Just a friend
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
We both have different lives
Other lovers and children on which we,
They depend
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
To betray them all
To see what we missed
To me, would be a sin
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
You were a special girl
My teenage mind
Pedelstilized as the perfect girlfriend
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
So it was good to see you
I’m glad you’re doing well
But this interaction must be the End
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
I should leave you as a fantasy
And my imagination could
Always pretend
There’s no way it could ever be
What it would’ve been, back then
Because Post Nut Clarity is real
And the sex was Mid
And I don’t want to ever see you AGAIN!

"Stone Heart Rebuked"
For those who deem their worth a gilded prize
The "friend zone" is but folly, naught but jest
Why mourn where fleeting, shallow favor lies
When hearts of stone do not deserve your best?
No chain can bind the soul that seeks the rare
The noble spark in kindred flame's embrace
To crave mere trifles, vanity laid bare
Is to forsake true worth for fleeting grace
Let not your gaze be clouded by their charms
Nor cast thy pearls where pigs would tread them low
The bonds of friendship hold a world of arms
Where love may blossom, steady in its glow
So spurn the path where hollow hearts abide
For love is pure, and will not be denied
For those who deem their worth a gilded prize
The "friend zone" is but folly, naught but jest
Why mourn where fleeting, shallow favor lies
When hearts of stone do not deserve your best?
No chain can bind the soul that seeks the rare
The noble spark in kindred flame's embrace
To crave mere trifles, vanity laid bare
Is to forsake true worth for fleeting grace
Let not your gaze be clouded by their charms
Nor cast thy pearls where pigs would tread them low
The bonds of friendship hold a world of arms
Where love may blossom, steady in its glow
So spurn the path where hollow hearts abide
For love is pure, and will not be denied
Regardless-I’m There
“My home girl called me today saying pray for me
Because balloons of cocaine erupted in her pussy,
“Crying about being stupid and should not have taken the flight
And the doctor’s saying she might not survive the night,
“I told her she was a motherfuckin ass fool
Being someone’s international pack mule,
“The only thing she should’ve been packing was clothes or dick
And if she make it-bitch you need to quit,
“I told her I was on my way, because she will always be my friend
And if shit turns tragic-I will be there with her in the end,
“I decided not to call her mom, she can burn in hell
The trifling ass bitch abandoned her when she was twelve,
“Ten years later I’ve been her protector and provider
This failure on my part set my soul on fire,
“I know it was her choice and a personal responsibility
But the shit was like stage four cancer eating inside of me,
“The last time I saw her the situation ended real ugly
Because I found out she lied about her pregnancy,
“Not only to me, but also the baby daddy
And when she got an abortion his ass was not happy,
“In a cold-blooded way I told her to slow her ass down
The response I got was fuck you CS and her leaving town,
“That harsh memory was several years ago
As I pulled up in the hospital parking lot real slow,
“Arriving at her room she was half-sleep watching TV
And instantly start crying when she noticed me,
“Her first words was ‘I’m sorry’ as I kissed her on the forehead
While she scooted over so I could sit on the side of the bed,
“For hours we talked, cussed and joked-having a good old time
Until our stomachs hurt from laughter and we both were crying,
“Then looking into her eyes I watched them lose that shine
As the silence was penetrated by the sound of her EKG flatline”.

FRIEND ZONE
I can't believe
she friendzoned me
It ALL STARTED THE YEAR 1983
IT’S MORE LIKE BEING PUSSY-WHIP
AS I ASK FOR HER NUMBER
SHE GAVE IT TO ME SUDDENLY
LESS THEN 24 HOURS
IM FUCKING CALLING HER
JUST LIKE EVERY TYPICAL GUY
I don't show tension and nervousness,
but I know how fast my heartbeat races
before a phone call
Small talk, or “chit-chat
may feel real awkward
but these moments
are great opportunities
For me to ask her out
Get to know her better
Why does she show me
interest in me
if she has a boyfriend
Stuck INSIDE HER friend zone
, but I wouldn't trade
our friendship for anything
I Love OUR SLEEP OVER S
HER HEAD GAME OVER THE HILL
LOOKING UP I COULD SEE THE SUNSHINE
PRESS REWIND
Now SHE'S CALLING ME EVERYDAY
She may feel a strong sense of trust and comfort with ME
, allowing her to open up in ways
she doesn't with her boyfriend.
Conversations tend
to avoid topics
related to having Sex
There is little
No physical contact,
such as
hand-holding, kissing, or touching
AT LEAST SHE'S SUCKING MY JIMMY
WITH THAT PRETTY
FUCKING FACE
KEEPING ME IN YOUR CIRCLE
MORE LIKE YOUR FRIEND ZONE
You’re my favorite place
to be in
when my horny mind searches for peace.
AT LEAST
ALLEGEDLY

Friend Zoned
I was once put in the friend zone,
Before the friend zone was a thing,
I was put there once and for the longest time,
I let it burn and I let it sting.
We’d been friends since we were kids,
She was that cutest girl in my class,
I was the nerdy quirky boy she’d confide in,
And that was the zone I’d never pass.
Growing up I had the biggest crush on her,
But I knew we couldn’t be more than friends,
I tried so hard not let it any of it out,
It was so difficult to just play pretend.
By high school she was very popular,
I was too but our cliques were of different kinds,
And though I had hinted at the thought of love,
She had already drawn that line.
And in growing older we also grew apart,
We didn’t have those lasting conversations anymore,
It was a sign of the time, it kind of tore at my heart,
Fate as it seemed had something else in store.
But that was ok with me, I didn’t want to ruin it,
Because she loved me “like a friend”,
Oh those words can singe, it makes anyone cringe,
Those who’ve heard these words know it’s the end.
I was put in that zone and launched into outer space,
So I kept going exploring the boundaries of the universe,
And in my journey I met someone else,
Sometimes you can’t put the ship into reverse.
.
.
.
.
It was somewhere by Rigel in the constellation of Orion,
When a message transmitted came in way too late,
She confided in a friend, she regretted her decision,
She realized her feelings and called me her soul mate.
Who’s in the friend zone now?

Who the hell?
I’m sorry
But only a person
Who doesn’t know the meaning
Of the word friend…
(I can’t even)
Seriously?
There’s a planet of mostly females
Trying to balance
Making sense of that
———-
What is it that we’re doing exactly?
He says we’re not just fucking but it sure seems like that’s all we’re doing
Are we friends?
Is this a friendship?
————
No, it’s not
It’s a fuckship
Can we please call it what it is and end the confusion?
PWJFEO
People Who Just Fuck Each Other
God damn
Was that so difficult?

Bleed Out
She didnt need fixed
Her connection
Was lost
Her voice unlistened
Just someone
Who could hear
The softest plea
For help
A yes
To her question
Of need
Through the pain
A harbour
From the storm
The calm
To find herself again
No judgement
No control
A free reign
To bleed out
Her connection
Was lost
Her voice unlistened
Just someone
Who could hear
The softest plea
For help
A yes
To her question
Of need
Through the pain
A harbour
From the storm
The calm
To find herself again
No judgement
No control
A free reign
To bleed out
