Beau Bennett Poems

I tried to give you what was left of me, But it was not enough

I tried my hardest with the best of me, But it was not enough
...

I dont know know if what Im feeling is possible
Im awash in apathetic misery
the lump of agony in my throat wont leave or disperce
crying wont cure it or even aleviate it
...

(very explicet imagery used in first part please know its sarcasim and not literally ment, lol i dont want you all to think i want to do these things im just making a point)

If I took this cigerette and put it out on you
Would you love me?
...

Man has only one escape
From his old self

And that is to see his true self
...

I must apologize for loving you
With this, my deepest sincerity
I know that I'm beneath you
And your kiss, pure charity
...

I am a begger with no sign
I'm shade without a tree
I am a sound without a voice
A visionary who cannot see
...

I've been conditioned to hurt for you
Been taught to yearn for you
I've been told to feel for you
And still yet burn for you
...

There once was a plain that I thought I had crossed
There once was a pain that I thought I had lost
There once was a man that I thought I could be
There once was a love that I thought wanted me
...

I only want you happy
Yes, even at this cost
But every time I see you smile
I'm reminded of what I lost
...

What happened to the light
That used to shine on me
What happened to the good person
That I know I'll never be
...
