Maia won an honorable mention for the high school category in the West Roxbury Library poetry contest. This year's contest theme was "space."
Negative Space
By Maia
The amount of space between you and me
Is too much.
The amount of time it would take for me to reach you
Is too long.
The number of days I have been without you
Has been too hard.
When you draw a picture
You notice that your object is surrounded by space.
Engulfed in it.
Suffocated by it.
You are my rock.
You are my guide.
There for me when my world is crumbling.
There for me when I am crumbling.
But now you are there and I am here.
Leaving nothing but
Suffocating
Negative
Space.
