Unintentional Heartbreaker

I will not dye my hair,
blonde like Marilyn Monroe,
or cover myself in makeup,
to go and put on a show.

I am not one of those girls,
who will purposely flirt,
winking at every man,
just to eventually cause hurt.

I know how it feels,
to have my heart broken,
he was selfish and cruel,
uncaring words were spoken.

I never wanted to hurt your feelings,
because we were not meant to be,
I feel so very flattered,
that you had a crush on me.

The right girl is out there,
she is waiting for you,
just like my guy is searching,
for a heart that beats true.

You have a lovely character, Kelly, and it shows in these lines. Flirting could be quite harmless, but it could also cause hurt. Enjoyed this write....and congratulations on a very deserved win. // paul

Yes, flirting is harmless. Unless a person is taking it seriously, then it can be hurtful when they realize it wasn't their true feelings. It is difficult to know whether someone is being serious or just having innocent fun.... Thank you for the kind congrats and nice comments. I do appreciate it, Paul!

I would never flirt with someone if I felt nothing for them, because that has happened to me in the past, and I know how much it hurts... Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment on my poems. I'm so glad you are enjoying them, Casarah!
