Crushed

In a game of love, shadows loom,
A crush that turns my heart to gloom.
I walk a path of silent pain,
Where love's sweet whispers turn to rain.

In dreams, your smile lights the way,
But reality brings a disarray.
A crush, a weight upon my chest,
Love's bitter game, a harsh jest.

Your smile, a ray in the dark,
Yet it conceals a painful spark.
In this dance, I'm just a pawn,
Crushed by love that lingers on.

Each beat, a melody of sorrow,
Love's song with a bitter tomorrow.
In your presence, a storm takes flight,
Leaving shattered dreams in the night.

Oh, unreturned, love's bitter taste,
A silent scream, a soul laid to waste.
In shadows deep, my heart does cry,
A wounded love that won't say goodbye.

So here I stand, love's chance denied,
A heart shattered, feelings set aside.
A crush, a storm that won't depart,
Love's painful symphony, crushing my heart.
