Does the distance
hurt your heart more?
I guess not...
Far and away
Less burden
Less headache
Free and easy...
Your way...

Does my silence
bleeds your ego more?
I doubt the pang of anger
The painful looks in your eyes
Its just your rebellious way
of saying I should stay...
while you stray...

Talk to my hand
I don't say anymore..
Mr Arrogant... have your way
No way!!! I'd stay
Waving my last Goodbye
Anyway!!!
Say all you want
Whatever happens to roll off your tongue
Just remember to add that I was the warmest place you knew
And you caused a blizzard
That left snowflakes on my eyelashes
And sharp icicles in my heart.
I was the warmest place you knew
And you froze me over.
kiss me into oblivion
because it’s cold outside
and i can’t feel my lips
or my heart
because they're numb
from the winter
kiss the frost away
remind me of  summer
and the sun on my shoulders.
kiss me into oblivion
because i fear that i will freeze
if you don’t.

-Ben-
the cold where i felt you
the silence where you laughed
the emptiness where you have held me

The cold half of my heart
The silent parts of my soul
The empty side of my bed

I ask you for your warmth
I always wish for your laughter
I need your being, with me

Mosaic
Sometimes the differences between us
Are grand landscapes of mistakes
Fence the grand canyon and pretend there's no hole there
Like blind is a contagious disease people don't receive with grace
Is ignorance on pedestal pearly white abyss
Hollow shell statues
Replicating Atlantis and Greek myths like fools
Moving in frames too quick for the camera
Moving so fast we erase ourselves
Playing pretend as adults
We throw the match on our paper future

Less than the rust of time
We are weathered by our whittling hands
Carving into sawdust
As we live this life of self consumption
Like we're trying to mimic the big bang in reverse and
make ourselves disappear

Mirror mirror no one's there
Wonder child
Use me up
Like money
Use me up
Like drugs
We'll run away from the world
Just you and me
A ******* crusade
Campaign for a life of luxury
Where love is fast
And dope is free
I'll leave you addicted to me
You pull and pluck
All my petals
While chanting your little song
Does he love me?
Does he not?
You **** me slowly
One by one
But you don't care
Because I'm just a flower
graduated *** laude
with a PhD in madness,
practitioner of your
  own philosophy as
    a harbinger of doom,
tales of darkness where
the deck is always stacked,
what's the sense of light
   to a harsh night
or spring's flourish
   to winter's brashness,
you don't need to be
      a rocket scientist
    to diagnose absurdity
When fantasy marries reality, it is your fairytale
You know what you think; you know what you mean,
Whether your heart speaks your mind or the other way,
While you are sewing the threads of your fantasies,
You are multiplying the perimeter of your boundary

When desire meets needs, it is your fairytale
You push the envelope or prefer to keep it inside
You do it when the time is ripe
Certainty is always prime,
What happens, happens for good
But change can be the devil unlike itself

When honesty meets passion, it is your fairytale
Insane as it can be, sanity may ******* sometimes
Truth should never leave you away or you may die
But praise yourself for once, because you never cease to try

**** the bee of the fear and insecurity
That hums in your mind constantly,
You ought to believe you are the queen bee
Alone or with your colony, you always remain to be
Even if you didn't make for the honey
You can still make it for the nectar
It will always be your fairytale; whether too many flowers, one or none.
