Kate Tovar Poems

as kids, adults tell us that 'sharing is caring'
what they don't tell us is that caring can be deadly, forgettingwe don't need coaching anymore

we free fall into life without knowing what to expect
...

Walks down the halls one last time,
knowing it is the last time,

Empty rooms where we sat the last four years,
...

You once told me that you cared for me, smiling while those words fell from your lips
You said I made you 'happy' you made me happy
You lied when saying you cared
...

whispers across the room waiting to be heard,
waiting to be answered by someone,
we listen to the stereotypes we hear in the halls,
...

Someone is watching

Somone is faking a smile
...

-Faith, Love, and Pixi Dust-
Trust can be given can also be taken away,
I gave you trust, you took it for granted and threw me away,
Parents lie when telling us life is a fairy tale, only in our dreams,
...

memories are passageways through dreams of sleep,
dreams vanish through the mist,
wondering whether to be afraid,
...

standing near the edge looking down the black hole,
looking up seeing nothing; fog covers the land,
turning her back she walks away from the edge,
...

parents tell us to never give up on someone,
they make us wonder with a buddy so we don't get lost,

buddies don't last forever; they leave,
...

thoughts roaming my mind finding ways to get inside,
shaking hands holding onto memories I try to hide,
slow breathing I count 1,2,3; my chest thighed,
...
