I Don't Want to Be Friends (Erotic Poetry written and performed by Eve)
The poems and erotic freeverse I write are very personal. In fact, as much as I show you my real self through my audios and improvs and everything else I do, I think if you really want a glimpse into my inner world, just listen to my poetry.
This one, for instance - yes, it was inspired by a line in Lady Gaga's song Bad Romance. I remember the moment I heard it, more than a decade ago now, I resonated with it immediately. (The rest of the lyrics were somewhat grittier than my passionate heart yearns for, but even one line can be enough to fire up creativity).
Maybe guys have never thought about what it's like to be friend-zoned as a woman, or to hear "I'd like to still be friends" at the end of a relationship. Maybe you think you're the only ones who lust after a friend or co-worker with an almost feral desire so strong you feel like you're just one big hormone with legs.
Trust me, we do too.
I guess I should mention that I published these poems in a collection called Lost in You, in case you're interested.

I started the book with the more wistful, love from afar type poems - each section goes farther into a typical relationship. These first ones are very poignant, and very real.
I don't think men have any idea how it feels to be considered 'unattractive' by a man. If a man doesn't want to fuck you, believe me, he looks right through you, like you don't even exist. In fact, I think the friend zone is actually rare female-to-male, for that reason. Men don't want to hang around with girls they don't get turned on by (or at least that was my experience).

Eve, you just pulled an arrow from your writing quiver and pierced my heart. I felt this poem on many levels, as I’ve been on both sides of this story. Both sides suck. Women have a different experience of this than men, as you’ve articulated so well.
Beyond the surface stuff in your content and writing, a barely audible sound that I sometimes hear is the unfortunate common emotional gap between men and women, and how it’s often difficult for 2 people to find each other in a romantic way. You have a unique perspective on that, and I’d like to know more.
I absolutely LOVE the ending! The silence becomes an exclamation point.
To fellow EG fans: If you connected with the emotional side of this audio, I recommend following this one with Eve’s “Unrequited Love”. Warning: It’s powerful stuff. – Unrequited

Well I can't deny that with everything I do I try to hit people in the feels, but you've definitely picked up something here in these poems. Sometimes feelings are best expressed like this - other times I can weave it into audios or novels. I feel like these are the most personal of the things I do.
And thanks for the shoutout!

Every time I see that a new Post is one of your erotic poems, my pulse quickens in anticipation. And I have never been disappointed...that, as a poet, you bring a feeling of connection that is so very personal, feels direct just you to me, and I am happy to be that universal man you are sharing yourself with! So, as your voice filled my head, I did feel like I was that object of pure passion that you wrote and spoke of here!!!

Oooh, a treat from Lost in You!
I still can't believe Lost in You starts with this one! What a rollercoaster! I didn't know how you would read this one...there are so many emotions and feelings to unpack! That wistful start (so much wist!!!) and that slow build to the lusty crescendo...then back down to that wistful feeling...so gut wrenching! Even those tidbits of darker feelings, frustration, jealousy/envy, the friend zone is so rough!
While I intellectually understand that women get friend-zoned too, this was still really eye-opening to know that women feel the friend zone in very smiilar ways. But I still wonder if there are very different ways for men vs. women to work through those feels to make sense of it all. But there needs to be some release between that incredible tension between the moments of joys of being with someone even platonically and the endless lack of sexual connection
