Just a glimpse of you Has awoken these emotions Are now floating In my subconscious mind Bringing imagery before my eyes I remember back to when Once we walked these streets Hand in hand Talked about absolutely everything I had so much love and admiration For you Never would have thought Things would have ended The way they did Then again I was a naive kid Once we were so close Now everything  feels...Awkward Whenever I see you...awkward Whenever I hear you...awkward How did it ever come to this Thought you and I Were destined to be together forever Alas all I am left with now Is awkward feelings and a silent mouth It’s been years since we last talked I cut you off after being rejected More because of the silent treatment I was receiving I poured my heart and soul into you You couldn’t even give me a yes or no And maybe I’m still bitter But can you really blame me After all that time I was there for you Through every heartbreak I was the one who wiped those tears away You couldn’t even take the time to reply to me Once we were so close Now everything  feels...Awkward Whenever I see you...awkward Whenever I hear you...awkward How did it ever come to this Thought you and I Were destined to be together forever Alas all I am left with now Is awkward feelings and a silent mouth We’d been through a lot of up and downs We always managed to come back around But I stopped all of that When you couldn’t take the time to Write me back I was done playing second best Watching you date every other man Still don’t regret that decision I can’t help but think of you Because when all is said and done Still have love for you, Even though you broke my heart Just another song now this is all you are Once we were so close Now everything  feels...Awkward Whenever I see you...awkward Whenever I hear you...awkward How did it ever come to this Thought you and I Were destined to be together forever Alas all I am left with now Is awkward feelings and a silent mouth ©2018 Written By Benji James

Old rugged jeans I couldn't throw away Because in it's tiny little pockets I am keeping, the pieces of broken dreams and broken us

Old Jeans
I will rebalance these chemicals in my brain that tell me I need you – I want you – I love you. Pulling this knife from my back, I will rise from the grave you’ve thrown our love into. Sweating out your favorite song that has been going off in my head every night for eight weeks straight. You have said what you want now, I’ve already come and gone. Done with wasting time – I’m only wasting time.

Barenaked Ladies
I can’t help but notice how you choke over the words, While I hang the necklace around my throat to give you my very last breath. Those unspoken words, hidden thoughts, corrupt meanings, I saw the way you looked at her through the glassy binoculars, hazy with lust. Lying next to you at night, please my dear, don’t fool yourself. I can smell the roses and cream on your skin, alien to a weary traveler. To dream of forever and taste the end, like salt and sulfur, I pack my bags to climb the highest tower over the hill. The hills shine with the morning dew, Glistening like a thousand tears in the sun, Warm and thick, spilling over the ground. Here’s to one last night with you, my love, Before darkness eclipses the valley.

My love, Do you feel that ache, deep in your chest? The feel of my roots twisting around your ribs, grasping at a home. Did you know that I’m lost, in my mind? The ambiguous definition of living, of life, tearing creases in my skin. Are you aware that you’re holding my string? Even though you’re gone, you hold my sanity, or what’s left of it. Can you remember that night, under the stars? You traced letters into my skin, forever branding me with your touch. Has someone told you that I’ve gone missing? I tried to retrace that memory, I tried to travel back when I felt alive. Wouldn’t you just laugh at me now? You told me that nothing lasts forever, importance is ignorance. If you had the heart, would you warm me one last time? Don’t you know, that metal is cold on my chest. Will you do me one last favor? Remember you will always be my only one. My love.

*Your kiss on my lips Doesn't fit anymore The spaces between our fingers Doesn't complement at all You caused my heart To break into pieces And now that you are trying to stitch it The pieces don't fit anymore The pieces won't fit anymore Or maybe won't be completed at all (Because parts of me, I already gave to you) I may be whole again (maybe not) But never the same There will be holes and cracks But I guess, I can still be functional I hope..*

Pieces don't fit anymore..
*You left me hanging In the middle of nothing In between love-lust-friendship I do not know what it is But sure, it is more than something Because I felt everything When you touched me When you kissed me It is more than lust When you held me When you smiled at me My feelings I trust But suddenly you became a ghost in town Haunting me from dusk to dawn You left without footprints on the ground You left without marks to be found Like a thief you were gone You stole my heart and left me undone Holding on to something that is fading Still believing it is more than something It’s my only way to console myself It’s my only way to redeem myself I have been fooled, I have been fooled Now I am gloom, I am in gloom No words of goodbye Only memories that haunts me Is everything just a lie? Why do you have to do this to me Every night I wish you are at my side Will  you comeback to me?*

Hanging
Again and again, I tried again. Again and again, Tears fell once again. Again and again, I snooped on a whim. Again and again, round and round, Love is my weakness, this I have surely found. They tell me theres too many lined up for me, Im intimidating, Im going to leave, Im going to cheat, you say you are exhausted and going to deplete. Again and again, Just stay my friend then! If you will not be here until the very end. Again and again, You see me as an again, nothing special just the same as them. Again and again, I yearn for passion, I yearn for the same love in return. Again and again, How many more will ask me to fight the fight I won't ever win? Again and again, I will never stop loving, surely in the end I will find the one who doesn't just give in.

***I never thought that the lips I love to kiss Would be the same lips to lie And say the word goodbye***

Your Lips..
I've been thinking a lot about one of the more meaningful and meaningless emotions, the one they call love. Is anyone else plagued by the thought that with each new venture the whole experience feels like a regurgitation of past, like you're playing the same role with new actors, the same script, but you expect a different ending? Even when you know, you know. You say the same sweet lines, do the same warm actions, feel the same dark often false pangs of "love". Can you ever go into love untouched, unjaded, unhaunted by your past? Your mother, father, lack there of, boyfriends, girlfriends, lovers had and lovers lost and lovers never found, you think about them with every move, you think about who you were, who they were, how this new you and new they could/should/would be. Who are you? When are you yourself? Will you ever be yourself? Or are you what they want, what they need, what you want them to see? Can't we just be? "I love you." You're just another you.

Every new beginning is some other beginning's end.
Don't ever let some ***** sell you a bundle of beautiful words. They may say romantic pick up lines, but sometimes it's been woven with lies. In the end, the kids that tell you the prettiest words and make you feel like a movie worth watching are the biggest liars. The good ones are hiding and saying the true words to themselves in the bathroom mirror, the ones that say it to your face are those that don't really get you... Worst part is, they don't even try.
