Backward Glance
Torias Oct 2017
I don't think the pain comes from wanting you back,
Because I don't.
But I think sometimes I remember the way it used to be and the way you used to make me feel.
We reached the end of us,
Now your story has taken a dark twist,
And there was a time when I would've wrapped my arms around you and held you up.
Maybe you thought she would do a better job than me-
You bet it all on that other girl,
But now you are all alone.
And I still hope your childhood dreams come true.
Though I am far too busy to worry about where you are now,
What you're doing,
Who you're with.
I guess it's true that time works wonders,
We used to be so completely intertwined.
Now I can't say you are so much different from a stranger.

Dancers
Torias Dec 2015
We danced all through the night,
Far too long
Kicking up dust
Until we could no longer see each other.

Something
Torias Dec 2015
Here is another something
About nothing
Or everything
To you it is nothing
Of course because I've never told you
Or even put the thoughts together to make a coherent sentence.
So this is nothing
But it is everything.

Tricks
Torias Dec 2015
I keep music loud to silence voices caught on repeat.
And I can't see with all these colors flashing in front of me.
They keep me awake with their constant cries for attention
Fantasy and reality mix together far too easily
A past life tugs at my mind
Telling me how to live the one ahead of me.

Things I Do With Your Mouth
Torias Jul 2017
I run my tongue along my teeth
And it feels like it should be yours there
Because I put words in your mouth anyway.
7/28/17  I don't even know what to say. You left so few words, so I had to figure out what your mind meant.

Blown Away
Torias Dec 2015
Just when I think I've learned it all
Something comes and blows my mind
By the time I have picked up the scattered pieces of my brain,
You've already shot me again.

Alone
Torias Jul 2017
Well he blew me a kiss before he got in that car of his,
Then a few miles down the road
I realized he was never coming back.

Burnt
Torias Sep 2017
When do I think of you?
I think of you
When I'm lighting
A cigarette.
You take the edge off,
But I know you're only killing me.
And after, I'll only be left with
Smoke and ashes.

To My Muse
Torias Dec 2015
You inspire me think in poetry,
Lyrics I have cycling through my mind
And I'll never share them with you.
