The Crush

The roses have wilted, the violets have died, but you'll never know the tears that I cried. You'll never know the pain that I knew. You'll never know how much I loved you.

The title instantly made me think of Alicia Silverstone. You have conveyed your personal feelings very well in this easy to read piece.

I never saw the movie, though I did enjoy watching Alicia Silverstone when she was making movies!

It is a nice twist to an old classic...

I initially wrote this poem many years ago in high school. I took it out and dusted it off to show middle schoolers how to take a cliche and put a twist on it. It's simple, but straightforward. I hope you like it.
