A Little More Than Friends
I guess it all depends
on what that means to you.
Women having men as friends
end up with a pal who wants to do
a little more than
a best girl friend wants to.
As far as I recall,
friends with benefits don't hang out at the mall
They don't chit-chat about ex lovers
and reminisce about what went on under the covers
They don't set a date for pedicures
or test the perfume samples together at the department store.
You don't want to be my "friend"
You just want an easy way to get in
I don't need another mate
I don't want to make a mistake
So before our friendship even begins
I'll have to decline.
Our potential friendship is at its end
Because a friend like you is no friend of mine.

Post a Commentthis poem reminds of my neighbor who hit on me the other night- I was in shock! I told him if he tried anything I would slug him in his teeth LOL it worked ;)
That's all men, at least all the "friendly" types.
you are really a great writer. Your poems are getting better each time I read them. Keep up the great writing.
Robin, this is your usual spot-on dissection of human nature, split wide open for all to see! Good good poem, thanks.
You go, Ms. Thang! I like this poem! It tells it like it is!
Powerful and open, really liked it.
