Untitled 2 Poem by Mallory Stephens

guys
theyere like a deadly plague
theyre good for only one thing
whether or not
you give them that one thing
all they do is break your heart
and by the time youve been hurt so many times
we stereo-type them
i mean
you cant blame us
were obviously the victims
im ready for prince charming
a thoughtful
christian
virgin
non-jerk muffin
prince charming
im startin to wonder
if he even exists
love is a fairytal
aint it?
theres only one person
who can promise happiness
and thats yourself
i dont understand
why we sit around
and wait for them
wait for them to call us
to think of us
to love us
to start caring abou tus
and when we find a guy
that does...
we think its all fake
that were just living a lie
that it all seems too good to be true
when in reality
it isnt and weve found
that one guy
prince charming
and we push him away
because of all our selfishness
to stay safe
to protect ourselves
to protect our hearts
we dwell too much on the past
to think anything good of the present
im ready to find happiness
i dont wanna turn away from him
cause hell forever and always be in front of me
if only i can get him back
