Pretty Boy

An ode to M.C : The Brat from the Past "Love is a hassle for nothing"

Pretty boy

You always get what you want

Those girls never let you go

They kiss you and love you

You’ll die from their hugs

 

Pretty boy

You sometimes look my way

To see if I notice you

If I blush under your gaze

And dream of you at night

 

Pretty boy

Your eyes stray from girl to girl

You don’t know where to look

You never admit it to anyone

But you are lost and alone

 

Pretty boy

One day you will be old

One day those girls will be gone

One day you might see me pass

And wish you’d taken the other path

 

Pretty boy

Your eyes are so bright

Pretty boy

Your lips are so nice

Pretty boy

You’re always so perfect

Pretty boy

I’ll never have you

Really like the format and metre of this post! I feel there's far more feeling lurking within the lines!

'Pretty boy / One day you will be old / One day those girls will be gone / One day you might see me pass / And wish you'd taken the other path' - so well constructed and puts out so much in that stanza.

Thank you for sharing this quite unusual style of writing.

I like the way you use the term "pretty boy" in this piece, its so commanding!
Each stanza is powerful in itself. Very Nice1~ Jude xo:-)

This is a very well expressed feeling, i know exactly how you feel, and i wrote a poem that completely contridicts that. This is very well done. Excellent!

i had a prettyboi, he ran on his page
"last night ya girlfriend's forehead was on my abs..."
in his words: yes i'm taken and not lookin.
i love to make a girl feel lik she's da only one.

but i didnt know it ere gurl was da onli one
i thought i was the one in his own words
"i already hav dis girl, so f**k da others she'z a wrap."
such as it is with da prettyboi da super cutie hunk

but he had one chance he dont get the second
if it dint work the first time why would it work da 2nd
now am soured for all other relationships
others hav lil chance but to prove themselves

Keep reminding him he's pretty while you're already marking him out

Pretty, popular...Broken.

I like it! Just goes to show you things are not as they seem and eventually they'll fade.

You could have used some more descriptive words as you went along, but the flow is good. It's a nice poem all and all. Yet I would call it thoughtful, not deep.
