Love Poem: Friend Zone

Friend Zone

I would need a second brain to explain 
How many times I’ve been friend-zoned.
You know how it feels to see another guy
Intercept my crush and take her into
My own end zone?

I need a moment to vent to my imaginary therapist.
Hello, Dr. Brackman.
I don’t need help.
I need you to explain to me the art of 
Attraction. 

I’ve never had a woman fall in love with 
My complexion. 
The ones who I try to woo usually
End up walking in the other direction.

I still haven’t had my first kiss.
Shout out to confessions. 
I’ve been friend-zoned so much that 
I could make it a profession.
