she clung to him like glue

while i, at the back

completely out of the scene

waited

and waited

bruised and ruined,

she came running to me

tears falling

lips trembling

"don't make me go back in there"

she stated

"where?"

"the friendzone"

what about me?

aren't i currently in that so called place?

say it to me with a straight face

"am i just a friend?"

i asked

"love me! even if it's just pretend."
