Our Broken Possibility Poem by Maya Reid

Two days ago was a good day
Yesterday was a great day
And I can already tell that today
Will be wonderful as well
So I should be high as a kite
Soaring through a sweet baby blue sky
These past few days
These past few days with you
Have been so great
So tell me
Why do I feel so down?
Because I know that we’ll be friends forever
And that you’ll love me till the end
That should make my soul glad
Yet all day I’ve been trying not to cry
Trying to convince you
– No, who the hell am I trying to kid –
I’ve been trying to convince myself
That all the things we’ve done and said
That “recent events”
Have gone the way they were meant to go
That things are how they should be
But still I sit here now
With this tear threatening to roll down my cheek
And think, “He’s my best friend
I’ll love him each and every day to come.”
While deep down inside
In the most secret parts of me
I’m sobbing
Over the cold and broken corpse
Of what we will never be.
