I could never

I could never

A Poem by ToriSchrodi
"

It's been a really long time since I've written anything. But recently I saw something that made me need to write.

"
I could never burn the book. 
How could I?
I look at it every time I go home. 
I couldn't bring it with me. 
No.
I was trying to rebuild. 
And to have those memories staring at me. 
Taunting me. 
Reminding me what I had and what I lost. 
No. 
I couldn't bring it with me. 
But I could never burn it. 
It still sits on my self. 
Not a scratch on it. 
Sometimes I like to go back and pretend...
Pretend things are how they use to be. 
Pretend that you still look at me as your sister.
Pretend that I didn't mess everything up. 
It was all my fault. 
All the mistakes I made 
I'm surprised you didn't leave sooner.  
You probably should have. 
I am a tornado that will destroy everything in it's path. 
It's my fault you feel the way you do.
It's all my fault. 
Not a day goes by where I don't think of you. 
I can't say your name cause it catches in my throat. 

I hate the color blue. 

I see our pictures and want to cry. 
You say I'm in the light. 
Partly. 
But something is still missing. 
I reach desperately into the darkness of my past hoping. 
Hoping you will take my hand and join me once again. 

So you see...
I couldn't burn the book.
