the stage was set
but she was afraid
not of the performance
but of the gazes that will
applaud out of lust
Angelica Torres Jun 2017
Missed Chances
of handholding at sunsets
of stolen photographs
of calls and dates to remember
of desire, rejection, and just
breathing the moments
of love to use
in past, present and future tense
If only one said hello
one would've been blessed
With the promise
of unconstrained adventures
of good and bad
of dreams and reality
of life
Angelica Torres Jun 2017
Shots fired
Shouts echoed
Shows of terror
Seeking sorrows
Angelica Torres Jun 2017
Rocking back and forth
I hold you tight
And tell you it will be alright
One day but not today
I needed not to know the story

To see how he has shut the light
From your eyes
To see how crimson
Traveled from neck down
To see how hope
Left the soul of a dancing spirit

Words were not necessary
For words were scary
To a person silenced

Dear You
Look in the mirror
And see your beauty
Put on your clothes
And feel fabulous
Get that makeup on
And conquer the world
It is time to embrace
Your full potential
Angelica Torres Jun 2017
To tell you the truth
I have no idea
What I am doing
Who I am
And why I'm here
Everyday is just
A process of
Not stepping on
Anyone's toes
Angelica Torres Jun 2017
The ropes were loose enough
Nor did the knots feel
Too binding
So it was hard to understand
why my screams met silence
