Can’t stand this
Every ******* thing is a fight
Hang with friends,
Argument of jealousy
Lie to protect a fight
Argument of the lie
When will it end?
When will it stop?

All I do is wrong to you…
It seems…
I’m changing too much for you to handle
I’m changing?
I know I’m changing
******* babe
Nothing I do is right to you
Everything ****** you off
Can’t you just be happy for once?
Can’t I just be happy for once?

Water fills my eyes
Why can’t anything be okay anymore?
I can’t go a day
I can’t go a day!

Let me live my ******* life
Without everything being an argument
Maybe I wouldn’t need to lie.

6th of 12 poems about my relationship frustrations.
Ben DuBois Feb 2012
I mean, I don’t mind that you’re here
But the feelings that it gives me,
Frustrated feelings
That I can’t be with her
In a time when I need
In a time when I want her most.

I mean, I like you, I don’t hate you
But you give me feelings
Feelings… I’m so ******* emotional
And you’re both so ******* cute.

Less than a week,
Less than a week, is all.
I can be cute with my love.

Jealousy maxed out
As I watch you kiss his face,
Oh, how I long for one of those.
You’re both just so ******* cute together.

I can’t wait any longer…
I miss you so much.
Can’t I just be with you forever?

I wrote this one when I missed my girlfriend very much and my roommate's girlfriend came. They're just really cute together and well, these rather all over the place thoughts are the result of my jealousy.

Easy to remember
Hard to forget.
Together is perfection,
Far away is shambles.
Is this what we’ve become?

I’m just here living life,
But in the end,
All I want is you.
I’m just here living life,
Don’t you see?
This is my home
Away from home now.

Easy to remember,
Hard to forget.
It rips us apart,
Yet brings us together.

The past is the past.
Let’s move on and grow.
The past is the past,
And that’s all it’ll ever be.

5 of 12 in my series of relationship frustration themed poems.
Ben DuBois Feb 2012
After all the good,
Our entire past
Do you really wish
That you had ended it?
Ended all we had,
Over a minuscule, substantial thing?
A mouse to a lion
In the grand scheme.
What we have is worth fighting for.

Do you really wish you had just ended it
Right then and there?
A mouse to a lion
In the grand scheme
Of all we have.

Sorry that this is slightly out of chronological order, I forgot this one. 2nd of 12 about my relationship frustrations.
Ben DuBois Feb 2012
How do you stick around
When you know my deepest secrets?
I’m just a guy,
One in 3 billion.
So what makes me so special?
What makes you stick around so long?

I’ve got friends you don’t like
Friends you don’t like
Friends you don’t like
Are you jealous
Or holding grudges?
Either way it tears us apart

What makes you stick around this long?
I’ve ******* up
We’ve ******* up
… I ******* up
Do you love me
Or do you not want to hurt me?

What makes you stick around this long?
My love.
What makes you stick around?
I’ve proven nothing
But who I am…
Will you be there
When I need you most?

4th of 12 in the series of relationship frustration themed poems. I've done a lot of things in the past that I regret, many of which still haunt me to this day.
Ben DuBois Feb 2012
By all means
Let me be.

Can I have one day… one night
Without bashing?
On my mistakes… my mistakes
Oh god, my mistakes.
It’s difficult being happy
With constant argument
Over the past.

I know what happened,
I don’t need a daily reminder.
Can we be happy again?
Can we be at peace again?

My mistakes… my mistakes
Oh god, my mistakes.
The cause of frustration,
Shed tears, and anger.

My mistakes… my mistakes
Oh god, my mistakes.
Let’s move on from my mistakes
It’s difficult to be happy
With constant argument
Over the past.
Can we be happy again?
Can we be at peace again?

3rd of 12 in my series of relationship frustrations. Just kind of what was on my mind at the time.
Ben DuBois Feb 2012
A weekend isn’t long enough
Being away so long
And coming home

A weekend just isn’t long enough.
To show how much you mean
How much I miss you
Every day
Every night

A weekend isn’t long enough
To see you as much as I want

Nobody here
Compares to you
Nobody here
Compares to you back home

A weekend isn’t long enough
To show how much you mean
How much I miss you
Every day
Every night
I think of being with you
Of having you in my arms
A weekend just isn’t long enough
After being away so long


**- September 2011
I wrote this shortly after starting college. A weekend just isn't long enough when you're only able to see the one you love about once a month.
