Maya Reid Poems

It funny how the world works
How there’s you and there’s me and there’s this place that we’re in
But there’s no we
And I’m beginning to think it could never be
...

How did the world get so complicated?
What happened to childhood’s simplicity?
When every question had an answer…
Now we ask:
...

I always knew that a piece of you was missing
You were always a mystery to me
I was intrigued
And before I knew it, you were inside
...

You’ve suddenly become such a huge part of my life
One day I looked up and you were by my side
And I realized then and there
That I don’t ever wanna let you go
...

Come to me
When you think your heart is broken
That you were really “in love” with them
And that you can’t go on without them
...

You have secrets
We all do
We all keep secrets from ourselves
And bear our own unspeakable burdens
...

I don’t know who I am anymore
The person you see
On the outside
Is just a magnified mirror image
...

I am always blue
But just as one color has different shades
Different hues
I have different layers
...

When nobody’s watching
I let myself make a mistake
They blink
And I stumble
...

It’s funny, really
How much one word can do
The effect one little word
Can have
...
