I stalk you
Everyday.

I look through photos,
videos,
tweets,
statuses.

As if,
         As if,
                  As if,

They can bring us back to where we were.

But they can't.
And all that I can do is

Stalk.
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.
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.
Sun

Sun
I look up and I see you
Rising,
Glowing,
Smiling.

I walk on and I feel you
Shining,
Warming,
Caring.

I hide away and I watch you
Radiating,
Persisting,
Supporting.

I promise I won't
ever
take you for granted.
Natalie Neo Dec 2014
Sink,
Sank,
Sunk,
Sunken.

I don't think my heart can go any lower.
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.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Actually I am very clear.
I know that things aren't right
and I need to get my **** together.

But I just needed to hear it from you.
Your voice. Your tone. Your words.

Thank you,

I know what to do now.
Natalie Neo Jan 2015
The idea of you
is a blurry smile,
a clear scent and
a warm hand.

An achievement unlocked,
a treasured past and
a ghost in my ears.

An unnerving screech,
a love forgone and
a forgiveness never sought.

The idea for you
is amazing,
I created it so.

An unending source of strength
a lesson to always remember,
a man to still pin for.
Natalie Neo Mar 2015
When I try to miss you
and forget you,

Try to call you
and delete you,

Try to love you
and hate you,

Try to please you
and punish you,

All at the same time.
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.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Time heals
Because it allows memories to fade
Feelings to dilute
Determination to weaken.

But

Time proves
Because love will strengthen
Longings will last
Perseverance will churn.

And at the end of the day,
I will still be into you.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Fog
Steam
Mist

They all have water vapour.

But no
they aren't meant to
clean and cleanse
Like water does.

Humour
Courtesy
Charm

They have it too.

But no
they aren't meant to
attract and impress
Like you do.

Some things just aren't meant to be.
Some things are.
Too
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Too
Gone too fast.
Lingered too long.
Jumped too far.
Realized too slow.
Hurt too late.
Content too little.

Love too much.
You too?
Us
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
Us
Your explanations -
Truthfully dishonest.

Your rationality -
Crazily sane.

My character -
Recklessly patient.

My feelings -
Despairingly hopeful.

Our love -
Simply complicated.
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.
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.
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

I am waiting.
Natalie Neo Mar 2015
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.
Natalie Neo Nov 2014
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.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Who are you to determine how I feel?
How much I yearn,
How much I cry.

Who are you to manipulate how I act?
How much I detest,
How much I toil.

Just who are you to give those
lovely false words.
Not only purely false but
manifesting in my soul.

Just who do you think you are?
Coming and leaving as you wish,
Not only suave with your departures but
tempting my self control.

Who are you,
Love?
Why
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Why
Why call my name
in that melodious voice,
when you are going to use that
same voice to leave me?

Why hold my hand
with that miraculous touch,
when you are going to use that
same touch to dump me?

Why kiss my lips
in that mesmerising twist,
when you are going to use that
same twist to rip me?

Why raise my hopes
with that mistaken strength,
when you are gonna to use that
same strength to crush me?

Why?

Why do what you did
To treat me,
when all you wanted to
Is to wound me.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Why can't we just meet for ice cream
Cuddle
Watch a movie
and forget that
We broke up.

Why can't we just kiss usual goodnight
Spoon to sleep
Have sweet dreams
and let go that
We broke up.

Why can't we just start everything over
Again
Afresh.

Why not?
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
Being alone doesn't make you lonely.
Sometimes you can be lonely even with
people around you.
So its okay to be alone.
Focus on what's left
Not what's gone.

And you are gone.

So what's the difference really? Being
Alone or lonely
when either way it's without you.

And you are gone.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
How easy it is
To conquer the body.
Enter restricted boundaries,
Trot your way to victory.

Not with the Heart.

It's as if he diffused in
when I wasn't looking.
Merged with my soul
Consumed it,
And I didn't mind it.

He got my heart.
But I don't have his.
Natalie Neo Oct 2014
You said you love me.
But maybe I should start running,
Start trying avocado salads,
Start watching less drama series.

You said you love me.
But maybe I shouldn't cry too much,
shouldn't speak up too much,
shouldn't help too much.

You said you love me.
But you said I was scary
when I hang out with my friends.
You said I had changed
when I didn't reply your texts.

You said you love me.
Or was it the impression of me?

— The End —
