Love Poem: Crushed

Written by: John Beam

Crushed

The weight of unrequited love
An unsung song of limerence
An obsession scattered upon oblivion
The rejection of affection
A death blow to the imploding ego
A pressed flower never given
Rescind a love poem with no end
A broken heart with no one to mend
Words never spoken returned to cinders
Ashes of childhood dreams
Crystallized and pulverized
