Crush


I like you a lot

From across the room

Only see you during lunch

And sometimes break too

 

I hide my emotions

Behind my smile

Hoping that you don't make the same mistakes like me

 

I want to talk to you

But I don't know how

If the only way to let myself pour out

Is the most challenging way to speak

 

I see you talking with others

I look at your smile

My heart flutters

Whenever I see you

Hoping that you may feel the way too

 

But sadly

My logic is right

Once more

You talked bad about me

When you did not know a thing about me

 

I was just 'that one giant creepy freshman stalker.'

And I walked away

 

It just hurt

The one I liked did not like me back

I started to miss sleep

To let go of many things I enjoy

My books no longer interested me

 

I had to move on

Looking for another person to like

But sadly

My heart never learned

But still keeps fluttering

For you

Hey everyone. Poet and author here. To begin with, my name AM is meant to signify the many mornings I spent on writing my books. In addition, AM is also a name that a friend and I made up for fun when talking about my fictional character crushes (many have been there, am I right?). AM also protects my identity mainly because I can post work without anyone knowing who it is about or why did I write it. In addition, I also post poems on my Instagram account @poemsby_am. I hope you enjoy my poems. Thanks for reading.
