I buried you a long time ago
I put you in the ground along with all our memories
On your tombstone it read
"The grave of someone that gave the world away so quickly, he took it right back"
Just as I had ceased to put flowers on your grave
I realized you had came back to life
If that's not irony, I don't know what is

When You Came Back To Life, I Took Your Place In Death

Bird
Bentley Webb Dec 2013
One time a bird flew to my window
It stayed for awhile, then subtly flew off
I'm not quite sure why but I felt hollow
It was as though the bird had taken a piece of me 
It brought back memories of when you did the same to me
I didn't even notice you there, but when you left you took everything 
I also envied how care free it left 
As though if didn't have a care in the world 
A bird doesn't have a home
A bird doesn't have someone to hold on to
A bird doesn't fear that someone will leave 
A bird is its own 
So since that day I have strived to be a bird

Okay
Bentley Webb Dec 2013
Hold your breath 
And count to ten
This doesn't have to be the end

There's thing to see
Places to be 
People to meet

Tomorrow's another day
So hold your head up high
Let hope fill your heart

I know it's hard to live this way
And I know it's hard to face the day
And I know it's hard to say your ok 

But no matter what
 may come
I will always be here 
Like the rising sun

Hope is your anchor
But don't let it hold you down
Let it help you to fly

Fly away from the pain
Fly away from the hate
Fly away from your demons

But no matter where you may fly
You can always come back to me
I'll always stand by your side

So put down your walls 
I see straight through them 
I see the hidden pain inside

It will all be okay
In the end
But this doesn't have to be the end
To be okay

There
Bentley Webb Jul 2013
I am here 
While they are There
I wish I was There
I wish I was There to be with them

But I am still here 
I am still here waiting on the day to come when I finally see them once more

I have been here for two weeks
Two weeks of fear
Two weeks of never knowing if you'll finally arrive There

But I am thankful for my fears 
Because fearing is still a feeling
I see some who cannot fear any longer
For fear took them over 

I fear because I know my fate
But also appreciate it, because my fate is There

Here the men starve, torture, and beat us
But I see the fear in there eyes
Fear of what my happen to them if they don't deliver us There

They have so many ways to deliver us
Yet the choose the slowest most painful ways

I sometimes wonder why they must do these things 
I wonder what may happen to them of we didn't arrive There
If we were to escape 

But I don't want to escape
For I have nothing to return to
Even so I don't want to be here 

I used to have a friend here 
But she too is There
She arrived quickly, unlike I will

Everyday I grow smaller 
Everyday I'm reminded of where I am by the number on my arm
Everyday I lose myself a little more

I've seen children taken from their mothers 
Siblings torn apart
But nothing is worse than someone losing themself 

So my destination is close 
I'm on the edge of the cliff 
And once I fall I will finally be There

Her
Bentley Webb Dec 2012
Her
She is a liar
But hides it with her smile
That blinding grin that makes you believe she cannot sin
Making her clones one by one
But we all know she just doe it for fun
She walks with graceful stride
But it's obvious she has no pride
She laughs at you jokes
But she secretly thinks youre a bloke
Don't you see what she does?
I guess not
Because you beg for her praise
But I see straight through that smile

Victory
Bentley Webb Dec 2012
Let your worst nightmares come true
As you remember this is all because of you
Let you burn in the pain you have given me
Just as I used too
Let you mourn over your true love
That you pushed away
As I reign in victory
Let your words be forgotten
Just as mine have
Let you drown in the tears I have cried
Just as I do
Let your days be long and weary
Just as mine had grown
As I reign in victory
Forever I though
For me and you
But forever just ended to soon
The sun didn't shine for awhile
But now you'll see my smile
You'll be sorry I know
For letting me go
I tried so hard to make you see
You were the only one for me
But now out story
Is ending fast
Is this it?
Forever?
I'm starting to believe its true
But I know I'll never find anyone like you
But above all these things
I have wished for you
I hope you fall in love
And they leave you cold
Just a you did me
But my darkness hours are through
For now
As I reign in victory

— The End —
