Cringe Poetry

Allergic to Romance

when a friend stabs you it's like you die
he leaves without listening
she tries to explain and her throat dries
the tears begin glistening

her policy was honesty
expect the best
from her bestie
their friendship put to the test

he tells her they were friends
because she was his crush
her truth made things end
she regrets it was told in a rush

they said things they didn't mean
her ignorance caused pain
her conscience anything but clean
good intentions brought rain

she did wrong so did he
her love strictly platonic
he befriended her shallowly
her lie to spare him pain ironic

her ignorance to romance
as an awkward tomboy
stabbed him like a lance
she never meant to hurt the boy

she did it under pressure
to fit in
intentions were pure
he liked her win-win

they joked and laughed
her big brother figure
their friendship not her deceitful craft
or a faulty lure

she cared for him
she thought she loved him too
she grew up not as dim
she knew what she had to do

do you still like me
his answer left her entranced
she told the truth paid her fee
she always was allergic to romance
