Emily Reid Poems

When I'm alone, and no one can see,
Tears form behind my eyes,
Every time you glance at me,
A part inside of me dies
...

I sit awake at night
Thinking and writing
And writing and drinking
But I know that love
...

You think you know how I feel
But if you did you'd be wishing you were dying
I don't know how much more I can deal
I'm sick and tired of crying
...

I miss you.
I hate you.
I need you.
I love you.
...

Tell me, how to love someone
Who doesn't love me back

Tell me, how to respect someone
...

When I saw you, my heart fluttered with butterflies
When I was near you, my life was full of sunshine
When our hands met, my whole body shivered like on a windy day
When we held each other close, I felt as if my heart would explode with emotions
...

I live and love as lonely as a dark cloud. I feel myself slipping into a dark place. All I have accomplished is hurting my boyfriend...

I will sit alone and eat alone. Everything reminds me of the one I loved truly and almost lost. I can't see myself anymore! I am lost, alone, and crying. My love means nothing and is nothing for I am nothing so I am forced to rely on the one I love, who loves me for only he can set me free and sever this depressing bond I have with death. I must go to him cry to him tell him of these dark things that roam the mind of his young love!
...

How could I be so lost,
In a place I know so well?
How could I be so broken,
In a family so together?
