Ben mcelfresh Poems

The pain you feel
Unlike anything before
So many can share this pain
But so few admit to it
...

Doors slamming all around me
The screams don't stop
My eyes tear up
I wonder how much more i can take
...

I look back from yesterday
i re-read things that once mattered
Nothing seems like tomorrow
Why have things changed?
...

Lingering on edge
Making my final decision
Looking back on years of life
Is tonight the night?
...

The hours come slowly
Each minute seems a year
For my mothers life
I do fear
...

In the shadows of the night
My emotions i have learned to hide
The fire in my heart burns bright
The swords drenched in blood hangs by my side
...

Once depressions best friend
Now nothing more than a stranger
You've changed my life
Made this life worth living
...

They look pleasing
They seem comforting
But the pain they cause
Is the pain i feel
...

You hide behind your lies
Caring nothing for my life
At night i hear your faint cries
As i set aside the knife
...

Everyday i see your face
Engraved in my mind
Every time my heart will race
Your love made me blind
...
