What about the friend zoned woman?

When we think of the friend zone, we often think of victimised ‘nice guys’ who get mercilessly flung there by insensitive women; women always play the villain here. What about the friend zoned woman though? Do we forget that women get friend zoned too?! Here’s a lil’ something I wrote about a woman’s unrequited love for a friend.

He placed me into the friend zone 

Said I made a great friend, and a great bone 

But never one he'd bring home to meet his mother… 

I just wasn't good enough to be his lover. 

He saw me more like a brother, always said I was one of the guys 

So he'd banter about other women with the boys, in my presence 

After all, I was one of the boys so there was no need for pretence. 

As he discussed the girls he'd kiss & bring back to his to hit 

I knew his type...and I weren’t it. 

However, it didn’t stop me from believing that my personality would be a win 

Since he'd often complain about pretty girls having nothing else to bring 

To the table, and I knew a girl like me was more than able to mentally stimulate him 

You see, we got on like a house on fire 

But I guess that didn't make me hot enough to be desired 

Then one night, while we were alone 

 I made my feelings for him known 

Sexual tension had clearly grown 

I was now his dawg and his bone 

He had his cake and was definitely eating it too 

Coz despite being the one who was laying underneath his covers 

He never once stopped his pursuit for potential lovers; 

I was finally done being his fool. 

So I made things clear, then was told the words I dreaded to hear 

The friends zone was where I belonged 

But he's obviously got me all wrong 

Coz I am not a girl who can accept the friend zone as a place of residence 

So if we can't be lovers, then I'm afraid we can no longer be friends.
