My Dream Truth Poem by Maya Reid

The shadow of my peaceful painful memory
I can’t stop myself from calling out to you
The blanket of my love wrapped around you
The sky darkened as I remembered how you bit into my heart
To watch the climax of the destruction I began
Then it hurts more when you find me
And all the others who stole pieces of your soul
I’ll tell you a secret: I really didn’t mean to
Deep down, we really loved each other
I was trying to fix it
I didn’t know your fragile shoulder would give way
Still feeling so lonely and cold
The horrible things I did to you
I went away
I went away
You’re setting yourself up to be screwed over
You’re surrounded by multicolored masks
So no one knows how deep the pain flows
In a glass cage on opposite sides of prison bars
I carry a golden key
I only thought of you
My soul smiles when you’re near
I was the only one who was really real
There is no one else for you, or visa versa
I am everything you’ve been searching for
Your eyes…they whisper everything
Your scars show that you have lived
Because your soul still trusts me
I will teach your aching heart to beat again
To free you once again
