Tori - Hello Poetry

Tori Nov 2014

We don’t kiss.
But that night we did.
Crawled into the dark and shared a long embrace.
Unexpected. Unprovoked.

With your hands rediscovering my body,
And your eyes rediscovering my soul.
I told you I loved you, but I didn’t say it out loud.
Neither did you.

We turned to the past,
And expected the same.
Sharing our minds,
Sharing our beds.

You had me,
You owned me,
You stole me from myself.
And you left.

I see you with her,
I see you smiling.
You don’t see me.

*You never saw me

Silence

The waves are ceasing and the
Sky is grey and unfrequented through the window.
Hold your gaze, forget this room.
Silence so loud it echoes
Through my mind.

Say something.

Tell me you love me, even tell me
You hate me.
Forget it, it doesn't matter,
It's fine.
Dismiss our feeling, act like it's alright.
We don't know what we're
Doing.

We're stumbling.

There is a world out there, I'm sure.
People living their lives,
Oblivious, I'm not really looking.
Glazed eyes.

I know I love you.
I should tell you, but
I can't.
You should tell me, but
You won't.

I should,
You should,
We should just,

There's no way out if this.

Hotel Room

I stood on the balcony
In the dead of night.
Cold air on my skin
And the glow from a street light

I took a deep breath and
Thought things through.
Why should I stay here being tortured,
By you.

One jump, and it would be done.
No one can save me.
I just have to run.

Run from my friends and
my family too.
Run from my mind
and run from you.

Calm my breathing
And stop the tears.
Relax my muscles
Forget my fears.

If you try to get close

I lost control, with music in my ears
Sweet voices claiming my soul

I danced alone. For I am alone.
And it is chaotic yet beautiful.
And it is lonely yet comforting.

Calm down. Calm down I scream.
Forget the ghosts that haunt you.

And with winter on your tongue
Cut loose your heart.

Forget.
Forget.

Feelings

your lips against mine.
Linked.
Your heart beating, and mine;
Not.

Open books, and close them.
Memorise the words,
Recite.
Use words to hide emotions.

You don't need those, emotions.
Emotions, emotions.
Tell your self to block them out.
Forget what you feel.

Feelings are weak.
You need to be strong to survive.
Survive the storm, just the storm.
Feelings are weak.

Feelings are loud. Demand to be heard.
Echo through your body.
Through your life.
Through your mind.

Turn up the music.
Drown them out.
Turn off your phone.
Drown them out.

Feelings are weak.
You don't need them.
Tell yourself you don't need them.
Feelings are weak.

Renco

Your name is everywhere
Written in graffiti
On the walls of my mind.

Reminding me of your touch, and that smile.
Renco on the streets and
Renco in my poems

Whispering secrets of lost love and
Forgetful pasts.
I see you everywhere for
You are my world

My sky in the morning.
And the fresh cut grass.
The tears from my eyes on
A lonely night

When I breathe, I breathe
Renco
When I listen, I hear
Renco.

Renco in every sigh and
In every drop of blood.
Renco graffitied on the walls of my mind.
