Lifetime
I watch lifetime movies.
Yeah, unfortunately I must.
And the situations women get themselves in
are full of greed and lust.
It used to seem unrealistic,
an understatement, I know.
But I never thought that same woman
that plays in all those shows,
would turn out to be me.
I'm more of a supportive friend role.
Man, I can't believe I'm writing this poem,
lifetime has really taken it's toll.
So anyway, here's the problem,
first ten minutes, I fell in love.
He was perfect, beauty and brains,
like an angel sent from above.
Next thirty minutes,
there's a new guy next door.
He's a few years younger, kinda cute,
but I can tell he likes me more.
Halfway through the movie,
I'm trying to simply be his friend.
Perfect man is getting suspicious,
leaving me with a relationship to mend.
Guy next door and I are getting close,
I'm starting to like them the same.
Then perfect man catches us in a kiss
and points his finger of blame.
No, no, I'm not that far through the movie.
I'm still stuck between the two.
I think I like them both and my supportive friend sucks
and I just... don't know what to do.
