No one's true love

a poem about feeling unloved by Elise Chaput

No one's true love

Sometimes its so hard to believe

that I can really be loved

I just turned 19

and haven’t dated anyone

What is wrong with me

I swear Im funny

Im pretty and have great style

But all some boy sees is a girl he can fuck for awhile

Tell me what makes you think

That I don’t want kisses good night

So tell me

What makes you think that I’m not your type

Guess you didn’t mind

Last night

When you were railing me from behind

And yes I’m independent and I’m fine on my own

But what makes you think id rather be alone

Im so tired of waiting for someone to love me

So tired of talking stages that lead to nothing

And I’m tired of the times I let myself sleep with a guy

That I didn’t even like

Just to say my love life isn’t dry

(Shut up I know you’ve done it before)

So what the fuck is love and why do I not get it

Teenage fantasy I just blinked and now I missed it

But maybe its me and that’s how I’m perceived

Just a girl you met at the bar

10 minutes later

Were having sex in your car

What is with this hookup culture

Ya I admit I’m part of the problem

Its fun running around with a bunch or Rando guys

But I have to say waking up to someone would be nice

But I’ve looked all over

And what I want just isn’t there

I guess ill continue to live vicariously through my friends
