Victoria Keret Poems

His stare penetrates my soul
His touch burns my skin
But he is so cold, so still
...

I saw the devil in the flesh
He taught me to love
But he does not love
He taught me to feel
...

Her silence is like a vicious scream
her voice is like a frightening lullaby
she stares at a ticking clock
like she is summoning it to explode
...

She walks right past him
And she doesn't see
He doesn't like her
He's in love with me
...

When you say hi you make me feel alright
Because when I'm with you I feel I have nothing to hide
When you look at me I see your soul
I can see the blue eyes under the warm sky
...

Why does it hurt?
If i never loved you back
Why does it hurt?
If its because of me that you left
...

It hurts every time you pass by and don't say hi
Every time you pass by and don't look into my eyes
...

He stares into my eyes
I don't know if he can see
That I can see his soul
Looking at me
...

When I'm with you
Everything is alright
When I'm with you
I'm not afraid of the night
...

I learned that being scared is just a distraction
I learned that fear is just a reaction
I learned that love is just a action
that you can't prevent you can predict it just is
...
