Matthew Bennion Poems

My love for you burns like a thousand stars
My love for you sounds like a thousand guitars
My love for you is stronger more now the ever before
My love for you never tore
...

On that day many years ago the day we obeyed our parents and walked away I should have held you close to my heart and never let go
On that day many years ago the day we were forced to say goodbye we should have ran and never turned back
On that day we last saw each other
I should have kissed you
...

Once again I’m dazed and confused in this wonderland I call my mind
Once again I’m lost floating adrift in this labyrinth I call my dreams
Once again I find myself wondering amongst the stars
Once again she feels as if she is pulling away
...

Some days I sit staring out the window watching this world pass me by
Some days I sit wondering if she feels the same way
Sometimes I think there’s nothing to live for
Sometimes I think she will just run away when she sees my real side
...

Let the anger infest my mind
the insanity keep boiling
The rage keep going
There is no return to normality
...

We are all weather by the storm in some ways or another

Such as the American Soldier he suffers in the worst of ways seeing death before his very eyes but yet he lives in the best of ways
...

Some days I sit watching this world pass me by
Some days I sit hoping you will pass me by
...

Here I am lost in my train of thought
While the rope around my neck goes taught
People are standing around watching me as I do the deed
Finally as I give another look around when someone comes up and kicks the chair points and laughs
...

It’s a funny thing about memory
How cruel and unusual it is
Tearing at your very existence
Rendering you to your knees you can’t even escape into madness
...
