The Things You Said Poem by Maya Reid

Sometimes I feel so confused
When I think about you
When the things you said
Play themselves in my head
Over and over again
You said that you only want to make me happy
But I’m happy right now
I’m happy with the way things are
It could get so ugly if we change things
I’d be happy if we could freeze time
Can you do that for me?
Because you said you would do anything
Anything for me
And that you hate to see me sad
Hate to see tears flowing from my eyes
So then why do you make me love you so much
That it hurts inside
And get me into situations
Where the only thing I know how to do is cry
And then you ask me what is wrong
So not to hurt you I have to lie
And lies on top of lies
Will only hurt us
As friends...as more
And hurting us
Will only make me cry.
