Crushes
Crushes are
pretty, but pointless
Love that rush of emotions?
That’s what they call
”adrenaline”
Makes you feel wonderful,
like you’re wanted,
right?
But not really
because that heart throb
and
squeal of delight when they
pass you by is
worth more than anything
you have ever experienced
But that’s just it
Crushes are
little white lies you tell yourself
to feel
anything
It doesn’t matter what
and when it doesn’t work out,
(which it never does),
you hurt yourself and
feel worse than when you started
Your heart is in two
and everything is broken
But
you pick yourself back up,
glue the pieces together,
change your point of view (of the world),
and move on
Until the next cycle starts all over again.
Again
Another crush
Pretty, but pointless
Because just like before
that rush,
”adrenaline”
Do you actually like them or
are you just here for that
overwhelming yet addictive rush you rarely get?
Is that a heart throb
or
heart burn?
Both
What’s the difference?
Heart throbs are
when you get close to your crush and
you feel all nervous around them (happily of course)
But heart burn is caused by
pain you feel after learning that
they like someone else (painfully enough)
That squeal of delight is really your
intake of breath because
you can’t bare to breathe in their scent
You know
there has never been anything
sweeter than them
And then you’re obsessed
Just a little more,
until you hit a high,
but then you open up your eyes
It doesn’t turn out the way you planned
You start to crash, but burn as well
Your heart is a little more broken;
nothing could possibly be right
But
you pick yourself back up,
stick the pieces together one more time,
change your point of view (again)
and move on
Until the next vicious cycle of this so called “love”
can start again and tear you apart
bit
by
bit.
