Just Crushing

(Senryu poems about crushes)

That awkward moment 
when you're caught day-dreamily
staring at your crush.

You know that tingly 
feeling when you start to crush?
It's common sense leaving. 

The fantasies that
you indulge about your
crush are scandalous.

You can’t seduce
your crush because self-worth
crumbles up close.
.
.
**A crush is an intense infatuation for someone unattainable or inappropriate**

I won't live to see the day when people realise marriage has nothing to do with religion and is a complete waste of resources as people are either as good as their word, or they are not! Good luck!

Yeah, I guess you can't keep them ALL.. or you end up one of those people who've been married 8 times.
