Untitled 12/25/18
Ben Dec 2018
Tomorrow yearns for today's joy
It always asks for more
At the end of the day,
It's your choice
The first line is my most favorite.

Ben Jul 2018
The sun rises to see your smile
It makes it shy
The moon loves its glow
And the glistening of your eye
Your beauty illuminates
I hope it never dries or dims
Sweet Lullaby
Your face pleases my eye

Just a few
Ben Jan 2020
Just a few characters
And I feel like I know you.
I've had encounters before your beautiful eloquence.
And now I sit in poisonous pestilence.
Because I think love is in the air.
But love was never there.
Just being a hopeless romantic. Making scenarios and making poetry over someone else's work.

Lets make time
Ben Dec 2018
As we spend time together,
I want to learn your ticks
While my heart talks.
May our days pass
Every second well spent.
Make our love last
Even if our clock stops...
Restart.

i just
Ben Sep 2018
I just want to be cared for
and I have to admit it
I want a free spirit
I've denied it for so long
what lingered was my need
to be honest
and believe
that I can't just live "me"
But enjoy life with other beings
I just want to be...
Cared for. Thought of...
I just want to be...
Loved.

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.

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.

Memorable.
Ben Apr 2020
Matches constantly lit
No char
No ash

Unscathed

No fire
No ember
Just memories it gave
The poem is about false hopes and love. They have no effect sometimes, but are memorable.

Our Love is Weak
Ben Apr 2020
We rarely talk
We've had memories
Some bittersweet

You're the song on repeat
And I want it to stop
Get it off my mind

No longer do I want this lullaby
The mind wakes up memories before you sleep and sometimes it's of old romances

Untitled
Ben Apr 2020
Counterfeit Dreams.

A love turned to mist.

A fun turned mundane.
The first line is the title. Had a hard time deciding if I should name it that or reflect that. It's about exchanging hope/dream for a cheap one and it becoming plain, not real or enjoyable.

Linger
Ben Sep 2020
You are my freedom
But
I miss my *******
And that is my sin

Untitled (08/05/22)
Ben Aug 2022
Sometimes I miss the switch I had to go numb
I remember the days when that feeling was all I wanted
When things would go wrong.
I love how confident and expressive I am becoming but sometimes wish I can be numb again.

The strums of truth
Make my soul hum
The brutal tune
Of what once was
Will not become

Damned (02/05/20)
Ben Feb 2020
In my lack of excitement
In my lack of motivation
The sweet sounds of disaster have binded me in isolation
The demise of motion has paralyzed uplifting truth
****** by my own muse
Recently being single had felt like a curse because people around me are becoming couples. I'm just missing that feeling and need to calm down.
