Megan Reily Poems

Quiet
It’s so quiet
I don’t remember what to say
I don’t remember what to do
...

Any moment now,
Any moment,
I’m going to make a mistake.
I’m going to make a fatal mistake.
...

Who is she?
This strange girl
Who inhabits your body
Who wears your face
...

Did you know
You ruined everything
That made me happy
...

Sounds of eyes spinning
Of heads turning
Of teeth clenching
Of hearts beating
...

The air was warm
The grass was green
The sun shone brightly
The ground was shining
...

Yesterday I was happy
I give and receive
Yesterday is were to be
When I never knew you had to leave
...

Is this wrong?
How I feel now?
Is it so wrong?
To be me?
...

What’s wrong?
Did you get hurt again?
That’s what happens
When you put things out
...

They only taught
They only lived
They only breathed
For just a bit
...
