Once a gentleman

enter image description here
Image Credits

He was no ordinary guy
He would go the extra mile
He would do everything to make her smile
He would open the curtains everyday and sit and thank God for a while

He gave his best just to be with her
He gave her all he had
He was by her side all the time
Whether she was happy or sad

He landed up in the friendzone
Which didn't bother him
Just as long as he could keep carin'
He kept doing his best to make her finally notice
And eventually she did
She tried it out but ended up breaking it off
He was destroyed but still kept doing all he could

The next girl arrived
And took control of the reins of his life
He gave her the world
And in return he received a grain of dirt
He held it dearly in his hand
Until one day he found out
That she'd been sneaking about

So the cycle went on and on
He tried his best to stay strong
Eventually he realized he couldn't feel anymore
There were just to many scares left by those self righteous whores

As time progressed
He realized that the fine details he no longer stressed
His heart started to become cold
And inside there was no longer a soul

The gentleman he once was
Was now gone because
There were to many hangups
To many screw ups
They made him sick to the stomach
Every foul thing he threw up
All his emotions blew up
He had none left
All of them were cleft
Stolen from his heart
There was nothing but an empty scar

Now he sits like any old douche
Waiting for the next of his victims
To screw around with
He waits like your typical asshole
All because the gentle man that he once was no longer had a soul

Ladies this is directed at you, Don't mess with a good guy.

He is good for a reason, stay with him, keep him, don't ever be that person.

If you want to play choose another guy because all you will cause is pain.

You all might wonder why, why are there no nice guys? The simple answer is that they are all broken they were cheated on or treated like dirt, they gave the world just to receive that little bit in return.

Guys are a lot like toys, you can only play with them so much before they break.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed! If you did and want to hear more you can follow me here (~) <(~<)
