I didn't want it to happen
But it did
Like an abandoned country under rapine
I watch helplessly as my heart opened like a lid
I waited for him to notice
But everday I became even more disheartened
Because I thought that I should be his focus
With every day that this foolish act continued, I smartened
Life goes on and I began to realize this was futile
Having a crush ended up a heart break
Because I started to grasp the truth, so brutal
No matter how hard I tried, it was always goingt to be fake
It was one big lie I kept telling myself over and over again
That he might just see my efforts
But he doesn't care, not now, not then
I can't beleive I tortured myslef as I watched as he flirts
I always wondered why it was called a "crush"
And now I figured it out
The only thing a crush ends up doing is not so lush
It comes at you like a boxer in a bout
The foolish flirt I became,
Making me feel so utterly lame,
The way I just now opened my eyes,
Just finally realizing my own lies.
For now I now why it’s called a “crush”.
My hope, my feelings, my confidence,
Now crushed, collapsed under my feeling that once rushed.
My first crush taught me to stop messing with love
Cause all it does is tease you
Then with one swift shove
You left in the deepest of the blue

Aw the crush. Is there anyone amoung us who has not been crushed by the weight of being consumed by someone at some time. Nicely done.
Keep writing and best of luck in the contest. -

Crushes are one of the hardest things for that infatuation can be all consuming, making you miss the truth until it is too late. A good write and hopefully a few teenagers will read it and know that there is never a happy ending to such a quick and overwhelming emotion.
I noted some typos in the poem so you may want to consider going over it with a spell check
Let the ink flow and your fingers dance
