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.

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.

White

White is that winter -
The season we fell in love.

White is this diamond -
The promise we savoured in tears.

White is your lie -
That moment you said You love me more.

White is my meat without its skin -
That day I gave it all.

Waiting
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
I am waiting
till we turn 30.

When emotions no longer reckless
we seek stability and comfort.

I am waiting
till we unnumb.

When temptations no longer ******
we crave for family and assurance.

I am waiting
till you see

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.

Commitment
Natalie Neo Mar 2015
Commitment is heavy
both on the heart
and on the shoulders.

Most forget and they crumple
under the weight of expectations
and romantic moments.

Commitment is like carrying you
through the sea but not
unloading you when things get rough.

Sometimes people get confused
about which valuables to keep
and which to abandon.

Commitment is like flying a plane
I get to lead and
direct us to the beautiful islands.

But it's never about me flying
it's about you landing and
never crashing you.

First chance
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
Asking for second chances
is not fair
to those who did it right
when you didn't
the first time round.

Asking for second chances
is cheating
lying to yourself that
you will do it right
this time round.

Dwell in the past or
forget about it
they say.

I do neither.
Won't dwell
nor forget.

But I will remember, dearly
in the most beautiful way possible,
my first chance.

Moral
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
You and your morals
get to me.

I thought maybe you would be softened
by my secretly seductive scent,
the way I work my curves,
how I voice your name.

I was wishing
your will might switch off that little song
which is telling you this is all wrong.

I hope that you fall back on me.
Just let yourself go,
Immerse in my sweet nothings,
as our noses rubbed gently.

Let me do everything to you
and leave regrets to tomorrow
leave guilt to old age.

But no.
you're Moral.

And that's what I love about you.

Balls
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
I grew ***** last night.
I went down,
I poured my feelings,
I waited for a reply.

But I guess it was
Too aggressive
Too persistent
Too stubborn.

You weren't touched
nor impressed.
Calm, as usual.
Why wasn't I surprised?

You said I was
Living in the past,
You can't do anything about it,
You just hope I'm happier this way.

Pathetic,
you made me sound.
But I guess that was it.
Closure once and for all.

I don't regret my *****
because they sought for me truth,
just that truth was presented
in the hardest way ever invented.

A verb,
An action word,
Because I can show you what I mean

I love you.

A noun,
An entity,
Because I can refer to whom I mean
when I say
I love you.

An emotion,
A reckless, irrational drive,
Because I can get too caught up, too blinded, too foolish.

Yet
I love you, still.

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.

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 *****.

Bright
Natalie Neo Dec 2014
It's weird
how I remember your legs,
the curvage of it and
sparseness it feels, including the
colour tone of it.

It's sweet
how I remember your smile
the one which made your eyes
gleeful as you
parted my bangs lightly.

It's sad
how I remember your texts
those with hurtful but truthful
words which reject yet
lingered with your concern.

It's helpless
how I remember the look
you gave as you incidentally
glanced over, only to hope
that you didn't.

It's painful
how I remember your back
as you turned, after delivering
your last look of longing as if you
wished for more but logic disapproved.

It's bright
how I remember the future
as we used to describe, it is still
bright
to me and my hopeless heart.

Because it's never about 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.

When I don't have you as momentum.

You would take a look at me.

weak spot

I really want to know
if you feel the same.
If you miss me
like how insanely I do.

But I don't want to know
because there might be
nothing to know,
nothing you feel.

I hugged you
for the last time in my dreams
I savour it for the last
two ever lasting seconds.

It was time to let go,
to no longer explicitly love you
but to disguise you,
discreetly as a weak spot.

A weak spot which I gladly
accept and embrace
loathe and love
consume and crave.

Feels like dementia,
some moments stay longer while
loss of memory persists on
a daily basis.

Feels like air,
the attempted grasp onto
something too invisible,
is it even any matter?

Feels like apple,
the first ever word in your book,
significantly taken for granted for
as if first means simple.

Feels like 3 seconds,
the time needed to lock you up,
for all pampering, xoxo,
when it is supposedly ever lasting.

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.

Abandoned and unaided.

I had no rights to sue.

You didn't **** me,
