No Love for the Nice Guy

by The Forgotten Poet   Mar 4, 2009


People say I'm such a nice guy,
but I always get hurt, I wish I knew why...
I give my whole heart, and I try my best,
but in the end, I have nothing left to supply.

People say any girl would be lucky to have me,
but my heart is always broken see,
they say I'm an amazing person with so much,
Ive just about had enough, this is my plea.

This is for all the guys who have
Been left waiting for the call
Just to make her laugh and smile
When she gets home from a date so awful.

This is for all the guys
Who have heard girls say?
This is the nicest anyone has ever been
You would make a great boyfriend

This is for all the guys
Who have loved a girl in secret?
Just to support her when
She needs to cry at 3am

But for me

I could wait for the world to end
and search every land and sea
not anywhere on this earth
is there a girl who could love me

So lonely, hiding in the dark,
waiting to be played again in the end.
No girl could ever want,
for us to be more than friends.

Ive been told that I was the nicest
Guy that these girls have ever met.
I'm the one guy who these girls
Turn to when there in a fret

I get praised for being different
Ive heard I would be perfect
I'm like the shoulder to cry on
I'm here just to protect

I wish to be more than the shoulder to cry on.
Is this what it means when people say nice guys finish last?
Is this the drawback to being the nice guy?
Do I not get credit for my nice actions even as time has passed?

Love.

People often say it to me,
just as a figure of speech.
But when I really need them,
there's no-one I can reach.

I'm done with love...I give up
I can try my hardest, and still wont be good enough...
girls say guys are jerks,
well let me tell you...thats the only way it works

If I were to die and go to heaven
Love would still not exist.
No matter how sweet I could ever be,
all girls have learned to resist

I guess I'm just not enough for anyone,
all I want to do is hide and run,
I try to be sweet, and sweep them off their feet,
then they hurt me, and leave me to weep

All I wish for
is someone to care
for someone to love me back
so my feelings I could finally share

So alone I sit, day by day,
wishing love could be real to me.
But nothing but alone,
will I ever be.

This is for all the guys who feel the need to be
The nice guy since it gives you joy
To make her happy no matter what
this was just something for you girls to think about.

    Lol! We are in this together!! I call those, the *hit & run* folks. But, guess what...there's always a gem, meant for you. No matter what happens, she waits. Take your time, to know who's by you. There's hardly anything you do, she's ignorant of. But she mostly hides in secret, to keep watch over you. She gives attention, when none cares...and is willing to support you. You may consult me for details. But remember you needn't change. There's always one out there, who cares. They're mostly cold feeted, yet strong. She's just by the corner, waiting.. Be sensitive, to welcome her.

    I agree with 'just a nightmare wrapped dream *claps for you*, even though i am a girl, i understand, unfortunatley when people are nice, others only want them when they are low or in need but where are they when you are. non existent. they say nice guys finish last, i think this is true with males and females, but is more so for males, it is so hard to find a nice guy who will treat you right, i attract people who want to hurt me. i dont think you should give up on love, just don't wear your heart on your sleeve which is harder said than done, don't change who you are, just be careful who you trust, love is out there for you. i really enjoyed reading this poem, and its going into my favourites.

    This is really great. I truly understand how you feel. I've been there; the only difference is I'm a lady lol. I do feel that the good guys are always getting forgotten about because we are truly too nice but there is always somebody out there for all of us. 5/5, Em
