Purpose
Torias Oct 2017
I put that bottle down
When I hit rock bottom.
I think I was in a free fall
So I could one day fly.
Playing games,
Wearing an empty heart,
And lighting matches so they could burn out.
But the feel of a stranger's kiss means nothing,
Just a wake up call to walk away
And find that real, honest thing
I was searching for.
Then feeling that fire in my soul that I missed so much
Set those bridges ablaze that only led to places I didn't want to go.
And to everything there is a season,
A time to see, to plant,
To harvest.
The time has come.
I have always wandered,
But now I am adventuring with a purpose.
9/14/17 ~ I think I had to break so that I could see what I am made of.

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.
