Love Poem: Crush-Ed

Crush-Ed

I posted about having a crush
then the questions started to rush.
Who is it?
Is is someone by whom I used to sit?
My crush is throwing her thoughts in
I fear if I tell that our friendship would be in the bin. 
She keeps guessing girl after girl.
The mystery starts to unfurl. 
Then she guessed herself.
I wished I could put the conversation on a bookshelf,
High away from me.
That way, I couldn't see
If she liked me or not. 
My feelings grew in my stomach like a knot
As the time passed after she saw. 
I thought she would think it's against her moral law
For one girl to love another.
Some female other than her mother.
She told me she didn't feel the same,
And to me it was such a shame. 
I knew it was going to happen,
but that didn't make the pain dampen.
My crush didn't like me back,
it felt like a knife attack
straight to my heart.
I was being torn apart. 
I know why they're called crushes now. 
They leave you wondering how
To bring yourself up from this
Feeling of being in an abyss.
They make you feel hushed
And leave your heart crushed.
