Visitors
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I've got visitors,
Frequent regular visitors.

They drop by as and when,
sometimes it depends on mood,
sometimes the weather,
sometimes some words that trigger,
sometimes some photos,
sometimes some scents,
sometimes silence.

I can't control the frequencies
nor the intensities.
I can't control how long the stay,
nor how much stays after.
I can't control the mood it brings
nor what follows.

I can't control our memories
They visit me.

Wait
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
Because it's never about the pain,
It's about what causes the pain.

Because it's never about the end,
It's about what leads to the end.

Because it's never about the wait,
It's about what's worthy of the wait.

Because it's never about you,
It's about what I feel towards you.

Because,
The pain will end and
I will wait for you.

Us

Us
Your explanations -
Truthfully dishonest.

Your rationality -
Crazily sane.

My character -
Recklessly patient.

My feelings -
Despairingly hopeful.

Our love -
Simply complicated.

A Happy Poem
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I thought I should write a happy poem
Try to channel some positivity in my words
Hopefully it gets to my thoughts and
Finally my heart.

But,
I got stuck.
too **** sad to find happy words

"AO"
Because I scream my hurt in your name.

"MINE"
Because you did once belong to me.

Because no one else can help me.

Tell me
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
So tell me what to do
How to cross the barrier
Solve the puzzle
Piece us back together.

Tell me how,
To go back to the past
The days where we were us
When time hasn't pulled us apart.

Tell me,
How not to give up loving if
I lost my right
To always love you.

Rainy days
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
On rainy days
I always get this urge to tell you
I forgot my umbrella again.
I got drenched in the rain,
I am feeling cold.

I wonder if you would chide me
Like you used to,
Say I would catch a cold,
I need to rush over to whereever you are
So you can cuddle me warm.

It's raining today, but
Some habits are no longer the same
Even if I remember the conversations.

It's raining today, but
I need to seek shelter elsewhere
Because you're taken now.

Same Sky
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
As least we live under the same sky.
Together with 6 billion other souls,
But at least it's the same sky.

We don't talk, not anymore.
We don't smile nor sing,
We don't meet or brunch or drink,
We don't hug or kiss,
We don't lean onto each other or

Miss each other.

At least we live under the same sky.
Together with 6 billion other souls,
But at least it's the same sky.

Hollow
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I dreamt that I was a tyre
but I was punctured,
air was escaping.

I dreamt that I was a tank
but I was leaking,
water was draining.

I dreamt that I was a me
but I was crying,
parts of me were failing.

I can't go on
not when I'm hollow.

Mundane
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I wake up
I think of you.

I brush my teeth
I think of you.

I take the train
I think of you.

I get breakfast
I think of you.

I meet my friends
I think of you.

Every part of my mundane life
I think of you.

I think of you.

Small
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I feel so small
Feel like I'm falling short.

While you're thinking about how
We could be heroes,
I'm thinking about how
I wanna fall in love again with you.

Vulnerable. Superficial. Immature.

I can't fight it.
I can't get my **** together.

Why do I miss you so?

Gone
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I tried to search for
Scraps of things we have left.
Mutual friends, songs, photos.

I only found scraps because so much had
Decomposed since a long time ago.
I cringed and sobbed.

I felt indignant
I tried even harder to remember your
Jokes, scent, habits.

The recollection was pathetic.
Subconsciously memories were fading,
I sweared and cursed.

But there's nothing I can do, because
What's gone,
Will always be gone.

In Case
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I know one fine day
I would need to wake up
And let all this go.

But for now,
And these few months,
Maybe these few years...

Let me preserve these feelings,
the hurt
the sorrow.

The good,
The warmth,
The love ( if I may call it. )

In case,
Just in case
You turn back.

Suicide
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
When I finally admit
The existence of this pain which
Has been here since
God knows when,

I feel liberated.

I guess it was never being
Guilty of hurting you.

It was that
When I hurt you
I was hurting myself too.

It was suicide.

Stay with me
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
Why rush to dress
Even faster than you undressed?

I don't intend to cling onto this.

Why smile so guiltily
Even wider than you first smile?

I don't plan to tie you down.

Why leave your number
Even though you won't reply me?

I don't hope to continue this.

I just wanted to cuddle tight,
Why so uptight?
I will let go when the sun rise.

For now,
Stay with me.

Human
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
As we grow, we learn that
it's critical to be logical, and
it's only logical to be critical.

As we learn, we strive to
Detach from what we were attached to, only being more
Attached to what we were trying to detach from.

As we strive, we realize that
Many things aren't real
and real things aren't many.

As we realize, we understand why
Humans hope, love and dream, as
hope, love and dreams make us -

Human.

Lyrical
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
Guess it's true
I'm not good, at a one night stand.
It's even harder to picture, that you're not here next to me.

Sipping on rosé, sipping on sun, coming up all lazy
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier,
Kiss me like the world is gonna disappear.

Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break-even,
You don't have to **** so kind, pretend to ease my mind,
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong.

This love has taken it's toll on me,
I want you bad and I won't have it any other way.
How did I miss you when I didn't know you?

You make it easier when life gets hard,
I'm trying not to think about you, can't you just let me be?
You can't feel anything that your heart don't wanna feel,
I can't tell you something that ain't real.

You said move on
Where do I go?
No, don't be scared that I'm gonna tie you down.

I'm never gonna say goodbye,
I'll leave the door on the latch, if you ever come back,
if you ever come back.
And in time I know that we'll both see, that we're all we need.
-With my favourite lyrics-

Slow Death
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
You didn't **** me,
Not literally.

Figuratively-
You stab me deep,
left me to bleed,
scarred from weep.

Emotionally-
You left my heart voided,
it couldn't be avoided,
Abandoned and unaided.

Mentally-
You chose to pursue,
things which were untrue,
I had no rights to sue.

You didn't **** me,
Not literally.

Not yet.

Space
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I can give you space to breathe,
Ample space.

I can space out those memories,
Diligently space.

I can create a space for us,
Special space.

I hope you leave a space for me too,
In your future.

L O V E
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
It can be determination
but if it leads to manipulation,
It is already exploitation.

It can be coincidental
but if it becomes incidental,
It is no longer accidental.

It can be impressive
but if it forces people to be submissive,
It is being oppressive.

It can be thoughtful
but if it is just going to be playful,
It is then not purposeful.

It can be everything
but if it is not leading to something,
It is eventually nothing.

I wish /
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I wish, I wish upon a star
that I have a fancy car,
bewitch whoever you are.

I wish, I wish upon a lamp
that I know who I am,
I don't stay awake till 4am.

I wish, I wish upon a sign
that all I do suffice,
there is no need for sacrifice.

I wish, I wish upon everyone
that we find what we want
we become Someone.

I wish,  I wish wishes come true,
we won't be so blue,
Life would be so cool.

It-

It-
Fake tattoos I drew you,
They faded.

Sweet promises I gave you,
They withered.

Nice places I led you,
They shifted.

Bad temper I brought you,
They rendered.

Soft kisses I blew you,
They crippled.

Rough patches I pushed you,
They shattered.

But the heart I surrendered,
It -

Far Far Away
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
You're far far away
Not miles away
But fair enough.

Because the distance of heart
is not calculated by miles.
It's by Time.

They say time flies
But my time crawls.

Time seems to be on slow motion
When I don't have you as momentum.

All I can do is
Wait.

Off guard
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I locked it away
Subconsciously.
I didn't want to face it
Nor feel it.

I guess because I knew,
It was too much pain to bear.

You unlocked it
with a double tap.

I peeked into the deepest part
Secretly
I couldn't accept what I found
Nor ignore it.

I tried to lock it back like how I used to
But it was too late.

Those feelings took over me
The pain demanded to be felt.  

Now they take over
My brain
My limbs
My heart.

I'm thinking it was wrong to lock it in
in the first place.

Now I'm caught off guard.
I shiver
I worry
I fear.

Fear not because I'm afraid
I can't find the one.
Fear because he is the one.

Fear,
Because the one doesn't want to be
The One.

In order to Love You
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I'm taking my time,
Let things settle in.
I am searching for pure
Singlehood.

No one to flirt,
No one to date,
No one to yearn.

Then can I
think for myself
act for myself
grow for myself.

Then can I
Go back to you,
Just for the sake of loving you

And nothing else.

In my sheets

No interlocking of feets,
I shiver under my sheets.

No arms to hook on
No shoulder to lean on
--but I still hold on.
No nose to rub
No elbows to nudge
--I keep you in my garage.
No lips to kiss
No tongue to twist
--but somehow I still miss.
No one to meet
No one to beat
--I admit you are a need.

No interlocking of feets
I shiver under my sheets.

One shot
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I know you're afraid
Things might fall apart again,
I don't understand you as much.

I know you're worried
We are just romanticising the past,
Perhaps we are just lonely.

I know you're speculating
I might make the same mistake.
I know you're anticipating
You might feel the same hurt.

But don't you feel the same?
That it's wasted.
We are compatible,
Second to none.

Give it shot,

Give us a chance?

My Whimsy
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I was staring at the window
I thought I saw your shadow.

It somehow did remind
What was supposedly mine.

You said that desired vow
With such dreaded foul.

Deeply I felt the burn
And truly nothing else earned.

I wonder what you can bring
Other than this pathetic dream.

No balls, YET.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Maybe one night
One late night
I will grow some *****,
grab tightly onto them
and run to find you.

I will knock on your door
pray that no other girl is inside
hope that you're semi asleep.

And that's when I catch you
Off guard.

I would go close to you
Gaze at you for awhile
I will hold your waist with one hand
Grab the back of your hair with the other
I will close my eyes
And kiss you.

You can hug my waist too
And hold my neck as you
Kiss me back.

It might be straining
I would have to tiptoe.
But it would all be
Worth it.

Only if
One night,
I grow those *****.

The Irony
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I find poets repetitive.
Poems annoying, sometimes.

Because we just go on and on
About the things we yearn
we    crave,   we lose,    we desire,       we       think,    want, long,          wish,  hope,      pray,      dream,    regret, love,      depend,    

feel.

It's good for emotions really.
But what about actions?

Sometimes the best way for someone
to know how you feel,
is not through words.

"Show, not tell."
How easy I made it seem.

Impossible
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
"It always seems impossible until it's done."

I don't want to.

Immerse in my sweet nothings,

leave guilt to old age.
