summer burns throughout your hair

angel?

devil?

you're still there

present words spoken

reach others ears.....delayed

i have to write to get this poison out of my body
otherwise i'll lay on my floor half naked with a gun in my hand
pulling the trigger on an empty chamber
thinking how bad would it really hurt to die

do you love this boy?

try it sometime
Ben Dec 2012
drinking in the shower causes conflicting emotions
hot and cold mix but don't form lukewarm
instead they swirl and dance mingle and twist
with heat in my head and frost in my throat
i take another sip and wince then grin
as opposite sensations pull me apart
in the most pleasant way

the old gods beckon
the forrest promises life

lonely
Ben Nov 2011
a sad sea of trees wishing for
the fall nights breeze to push
the stars their way so they wouldn’t
be lonely come this cold winters day

The End Of... (part 3)
Ben Dec 2011
it's dark here
colder than i thought possible
where are the
angelic voices
the fires of hell
is there truly nothing?
apathy
true torment
knowing that in the end
there's not even
anything left to care
we die together, but awake alone
and alone we shall be
for eternity
not a single night
but...

the pit
Ben Jun 2014
with flagging strength and weary conscience  
I struggle against these demons in this heavy heart
trying to keep this darkness at bay till a dawn
I'm not sure is coming

hey
Ben Jul 2014
hey
music on nights like these
let me close my eyes and
see you by my side with
a smile on your face
lost in the way the beats flow  

I'm not just dreaming          

on nights like these

my heart feels

complete.
I miss you

Ben Sep 2014
it's an odd situation when you know that the only reason
you are not who you want to be, you are not really living
because you are the only one holding you back

why can't i write a story
why can't i find a girlfriend
why can't i stop drinking
why can't i motivate myself
why can't i stay in shape
why can't i matter

these thoughts run in circles around my head
laughing mocking taunting
and yet i know the answer
me myself and i

i'm so afraid of failure that i'll do nothing and fail
so i don't even have to try
Ben Nov 2013
three showers deep and I still can't sleep
the time of my life Molly and Ice
I'm having second thoughts
I may have a bit of an indiscriminate drug use problem

understand thy sea*!


there great men saw die
times voice,
makes close feet
stand best,
stay,

touch, felt, truth told

grey morning (10w)
Ben Jun 2013
only woke up this morning
to hurt myself once again
