Blushing Joke

I never uttered a word when my heart was beating

So loud that I heard nothing else.
When your eyes rested on my face it was painful.
I would burn red, leaking emotions and overheating.
I panicked and fled.

Quietly loving you from the hidden shadows.
I spent all my time alone thinking of you,
Imagining things that were never to be.

My pair of gloves you tried on calling, "cool,"
Well I never forgot and I held them close.
You gave me a nickname, "JK."
It stands for joke.
I am a joke.

This is cute. A little creepy to be honest, but then again kids can be creepy. I don't even remember my first crush. I swear I've been having crushes since I started having conscious thoughts.

I've read most of you poems(cause I was interested) and I think your writing style is very interesting and unique in its own different way. I hope you continue writing great poems like this one.

[Nyu]

Thank you and yes I will x) I really appreciate the encouragement!

[One Lost Anti-Hero]

Some poems express emotions and others show complexity and yours somehow meet in the middle and I like it.
