I'll never be

I have never been the girl the boys are stupid-in-love about
no drunken gestures
nor stories of undying love.

There is no one with my name,
embedded on their arm
I just don't have that lasting-stay-with-you-forever effect.

Each time it spoiled before
I didn't come away unscathed.

Even when I did the leaving.
I nursed a hurting heart.

I'm not the girl you have to try terribly hard to impress
Straight down the line, no games.

So please don't despair
I am not about to break your heart.
