It's not you, its me
Ben Apr 2018
I'm sick of all lies
I've heard it all my life!
Just tell me who you like
Tell me the truth for what it is
I hate hidden things
I wish it'd be clear
If I was never "him"
Just some thoughts, I know my worth,but not knowing things from the people you love... hurts.

Doubt
Ben Apr 2018
Doubt
It's
Deep

Faith
Takes
A
Leap

Better is the excitement before failure or completion
Than
Living in the depth of deceit
You won't get far with doubt. Risk your life for things and embrace the unexpected, it's possible to learn from the experience. Just don't do anything stupid lol.

Music and Me
Ben Apr 2018
Peace so soothing
Whispering in my ear
Kissing my cheeks
Saying things so lovely

I begin to feel less lonely
The lonely artist feels the same thing
Expressing notes
Beautifully
Music is a beautiful thing, because I feel less lonely. This is so, because I'm sure the artist behind the song expressed the same experience.

People
Ben Mar 2018
Are beautiful...
Over the time you get to know them.
Are trouble...
Once you thought you knew them.
Are fun...
At the right moments.
Are understanding...
When you share your experiences.
Are confusing....
Because they can change in an instance.
All this to say that love can still remain.
Love can still remain.

Discovery
Ben Mar 2018
I have found beauty in your eyes
Your perspective changes mine
I have seen different things through
The lens of your eyes

The secrets of your heart
Reveal to me who you really are
I have found beauty in your heart

I have found beauty on your lips
Because you say the right things
And close it shut before making a mistake

I have found beauty in you
Because no one else is you.

Maybe one day
I'll see your face
For the rest of my days
See it wither
Every wrinkle, every line on your face
Representing the decades of love we had and continue to make
Until death takes us away
May our love remain
This is a poem in hopes of one day meeting someone that would enjoy me as much as I'd love to enjoy them. Just loving each other until death take us away.

Rose
Ben Mar 2018
Beautiful is the bloom of the saccharine rose
Though it seems alone
It's learning how to grow
Its vibrant red shows the love
It wishes for others to know
Because it doesn't want to be known as the lonely rose
In the bush
Beautiful is the bloom of the saccharine rose

Evil Desire
Ben Mar 2018
Binge drinking my own facade
Thinking I have gotten far
Vanity is my bud
I have rolled the blunt
Smoked and inhaled
I see thick smoke
And my life starting to vanish
I sit and see life pass me by
While enjoying the lies
Pride leads to nothing but facade and lies.get over yourself... You need God and people in your life!

Vanity. Oh, Vanity.
Ben Mar 2018
Your vanity compliments mine
Your vanity complements mine
Vanity
Oh, Vanity
I am love with your design
Being full of myself is more pleasing than being with someone sometimes, but vanity leads to nothing.

My heart pounds before seeing you
But once we've met up...
My body has reached its subtle calming peak
The melatonin is released

Your hands on me
Ben Jan 2018
Your soft touch
And cool hands
Send chills throughout my skin
And spark up the feeling I love
While making me want you more
Thoughts of one day finding the touch that creates a spark between us.

Lingering
Ben Jan 2018
Tasting the sweet taste of every bitter tear
That’s swallowed up by my drowning heart
As it gasps for air
I drown it
In despair
Trying to shut out and numb its pain
I’d rather do it alone than ask for help
But my heart fights to live again
Asking to live again
Fighting to feel some pain
And FEEL again…
I was overwhelmed at the time and didn't want to cry. So, I suppressed my feelings. Then, I prayed. Felt relieved, because I was reminded that I do have feelings. Hiding them won't solve anything...

Change
Ben Jan 2018
From the time we met
Till before we split
I always wanted what was best
Though our end was not the greatest
Seeing where you're at now
I feel peace
I'm glad you're doing well
May we one day meet again
Old friend...
A poem dedicated to an old friend, that showed we are okay, but don't have to speak of old things again.

Sweet Speech
Ben Jan 2018
These words may have been used
Several times in different
Songs
In many tones
And
Poems
But never from my own unique soul
And so I say these three little words
I love you
Learning to love people

Strum
Ben Jan 2018
Your vocal cords
Please my body
As I hear the different tones...

Hearing you is so soothing
My heart is filled with bottled expressions
But once enlightened, feel amazing!

Your voice is just so...
Beautiful.

The Sunrises, The Sunsets
Ben Jan 2018
When the sun would go down
Your smile brought it back up

When the sun would go down
Even a smirk made it worthwhile

When the sun would go down
And the night came about
Your face in the midst of all adversities
Shone like stars
The poem is about being with a person in all moments of life: the good, the bad and the in between.

— The End —
