You Were My Crush Poem by priscah Mutswenje

It was only a wish and you took it for a blacklash
The moment was excruciating then turned to a lash
If only you had not taken it as a signal for rush
Maybe the plot could turn and twist without a crush
You were my crush

You took it with weight that it was pride or arrogance
When the norm dictated for no discord but some elegance
A delay and a secret admiration that lights love in brilliance
That chase and hide moment that mows the way to a sweeter chance
You were my crush

But then you ruined the future by furtively splashing mud
Before me and behind me causing a mountain of everything sad
Painting a picture of lust that lasts when one is not mad
The sanity had fled and led you to name call and chew a curd?
You were my crush

You transformed overnight into a zombie longing to feel
Not the living. But the dead and hating any signs of chill
You dared go for a close ally maybe to to prove a seal
of amorous feelings that sat inside the bossom of me
You became my tush

The juxtaposition of deeds married the attitude of this persona
Hushing any soft spot that I held sharpening the revelation of my stamina
Into a weapon of fury the former was what you knew as bolgna
And now i am just as well as the famous self-contained cantina
Redeem me tush.
