The Crush

you tell me that you love me
and then you slip away
from me.
how can you do that,
and so easily?
did i mean nothing to you at all?
how could you just leave me
that way?
my soul completely open
to all you promised to give,
the sunshine in your smile,
the warmth of your hand in mine,
that glance that leaves me swooning
for more as our lips touch
and then you turn away so slowly
and your hand slips through my fingers
all i am left with is the darkness
of your receding shadow
