Karina Maksimov Poem
I hear love is an amazing thing
All the hugs, kisses, and gifts.
But what happens when the person I love betrays Me?
Leaves Me stranded in a deep dark empty hole,
Trying to escape, searching for help,
But I can’t seem to find any.
Shutting down, I shut everyone out.
I’m numb because the pieces of my heart
Have been shattered, destroyed, and forgotten.
All the fantasies in my head are now useless because
The person I thought I’d spend my whole life with
Is suddenly gone because of their stupid mistake.
The person who I sacrificed my friends for, is now gone.
So who is there left to turn to?
What do I say when someone asks me what happened?
Will I tell them the truth or will I lie?
Because it’s too painful to go back to that hole.
The hole, which I’ve covered up with bandages,
My heart, which I've taped the pieces together,
And myself, which I’ve bordered up with 100 foot walls.
I hear love is an amazing thing, but…
How can something so amazing be so painful at the same time?
I hear the first heartbreak is the hardest,
Which didn’t seem to make sense at the time.
But now, it’s the story of my life.
How am I supposed to move on
When the last six months my thoughts revolved around him?
And now they're empty because the person that I love is now gone.
It sucks, but I try my best.
I try my best to keep moving forward,
Even when everything is holding me back.
I try to love again but,
The hole is too sensitive to let anyone in.
So I keep going, keep pushing, and I have a little hope,
Someday I will be able to find a new person to love.

Karina Maksimov Poem
Mama I’m sorry,
I’m sorry that I don’t listen when I wanna have my way.
I heard you once, twice, three times, but mama I just wanna play,
This game, then finish the last episode.
I’m too addicted to this phone, mama, I don’t wanna go.
Mama I’m sorry,
I always fill you up with worry,
But I don’t wanna open my mouth, I’m afraid I might shout.
Mama I know, I’m shutting you out, I wanna talk to you I do,
But the anger pulsing through my body is preventing me from doing so.
Mama I wish I had the guts to tell you “I’m sorry.”
I’m not the perfect daughter you thought I’d be,
I try my best, I know it’s not enough.
My actions are speaking louder than my words,
Instead of “I’m sorry” silently my body tells you to worry,
But deep inside I once again am sorry.

Karina Maksimov Poem
She has lost her best friend,
Her friend who she'd spend hours talking to.
Everyday, excited for what new topics they will discuss.
It went from music, to school, to personal life,
to even something as weird as boys.
She has lost her best friend,
Everyday there would be a lengthy conversation.
Everything came naturally when she would talk to him,
She never felt that she would have to lie to him,
Because he would accept her for who she is.
She has lost her best friend,
The friend who was going through so many problems of his own,
The friend who put others first before him,
The friend who would take the time to listen,
Even when he was buried deep in his painful past.
She has lost her best friend,
She lost him because he became too busy,
She lost him because he lives in Indiana,
She lost him because ... Well she doesnt know exactly why.
He stopped texting, he stopped helping, he stopped listening.
It all was a mystery, but she has lost her best friend.
