RelapseIt’s like counting
Saturn’s rings,
hash marks
along your limbs -
remembering a time
when

‘just one more’

made you feel better.

- & you’re sitting there
wondering why
Draco, stuck in limbo
always looks like he’s

falling.

UneditedWe cry.
We scream.
We fight for our dream.

We scream.
We cry.
We're just waiting to die.

The same emotions
with a different drive.
Sometimes dead, sometimes alive.

The same in one way,
different in another
brother and sister, sister and brother.

So close in feeling,
so different in the end.
Falling apart, or finally on the mend?

Which am I?
Will I ever know?
Fighting to stay or ready to go?

Maybe I'm both,
in some impossible way.
Emotions oddly mixed everyday.

Wouldn't surprise.
I'm such a freak.
Excuse me, I laugh, I should call it "unique"

Battle in my MindEat.
Don't eat.
Take it easy.
Work out until you pass out.
Get help.Tell someone.
Keep it a secret. It's only for you and me.
You're perfect.
You're worthless.
You're beautiful.
You're disgusting.
Why won't you listen?
They don't understand.
Let me help you.
You don't understand.
Show me.
No!
I love you..

WorthlessWorthless,
the name that cuts like a knife,
Me,
it's all that you see inside,
My heart,
is breaking with every breath I take
The lies,
the only thing I can't seem to face.

In The Daylight

In The Daylight

A false downfall
An unexpected revival

Sunset to moonset
Shining through darkness

Life...redefined
Death...redesigned

In the valley of promises- I will fear no end
On the brink of weakness- I will ascend
-
Roads of the toughest
Paths of the darkest

I conditioned my flawed limits
So fearful memories won't be paralytic

I had to raise my own spirit
Strength and endurance become so vivid

A chance for change / A moment of fate
A time to make peace / A brief feeling of creed
A sealing of my slate / A silencing of my mistakes
A secret ready to be freed / A chain soon-to-be incomplete

Pain and peace are infinite
Judge the wrat

wallflower clippingsthere's scar tissue in her throat,
swollen around the words she never said;
dark rings around her eyes
like planets unremembered, and
a staleness to her touch,
the crystalline Dead Sea.

she's living like a story
that's already been told
"if no one loved you
would you mean anything at all?"

in that moment,
we forget to exist.

Ode to the boy with diamonds for eyesI think we were a collision course waiting to happen
And when I think back to the day when we first
Stumbled across one another, red sneakers hanging off gutters
Cherry cola voice overs and dilated pupils
We led one another on to believe in the night sky of connect the dot constellations

You wanted to dissect me and peer into the insides of my lungs
Only to find witches breath and dandelions
Slicing iron vowels you locked your hands in mine
And we fell into the static of dreaming disease
The operating table broke away to reveal a sky that never existed
And we couldn't help but laugh at the irony
Because wishing was never an option
The ane

Our MasksThe masks we wear are perfect
Never loose and rarely tight
They keep us safe from others
And keep our demons out of sight

They smile when we are broken
And laugh when we simply must
No blemish or imperfection
A creation that will never rust.

I seldom ever remember
Who I am without my mask
That to peel off that layer
Is such a daunting task

All others carry one as well
Wherever they may go
And no matter what is on their minds
Only the molded mask will show.

The lies they preach in public
Or the scars along their wrists
Are left mute to others knowledge
Ignorance is such a splendid gift

My mask is oh so perfect
Not a crack will show
Alway

We are the King and Queen of Broken DreamsStanding still in a mine field, staring at all we have left.
We were so young, we didn’t stop to think.
Now we’re in a car crash, teetering on the brink.
If you were to leave me now, I don’t know what I’d do.

It was a whirl wind romance,
A light when all was black, a spark of something when all was bleak.
You swept me off my feet and made me feel brand new.
I thought we could live forever and I’m certain you did to.

We built a house without foundations
And now we’re falling down,
Everything’s crumbling around us, time slipping through out fingertips.
People used to walk past us but they were to drunk to see,
That our lives are coming apart around us, there is no light as far as we can see.

There was no fire to start with,
Just two broken things, the world had left behind.
The casualties of other people’s dreams of power, money and control,
Spat out onto the curb to rot away and die.
We never stood a chance or so

Her SideTomorrow she'll be gone,
but what can you say?
Nothing can help her.
The pain won't go away.

But she would've stopped,
you could've said no.
That's what she wanted,
someone to say don't go.

That someone wanted her,
or at least would try.
That someone would grieve
if she were to die.

But you just stared,
nodding your head,
and she realized the truth
with a feeling of dread.

No one wanted her.
No one cared.
Not even you,
with the the love you shared.

So she said good-bye,
and you watched her leave.
She may have had the rope,
but now you can't breathe.

LonelyLonely.
Unnoticed.
People don't even look
when they walk by.
Always ignored...
Nobody even asks my ideas,
my opinion.
Nobody even knows
who I am.
When people see me,
they either ignore me,
or ask a question:
"Who are you?"
But they don't even bother
to listen to my response:
"I'm Canada."
Forgotton.
Forgotton by everyone.
Forgotton by my friends, my allies.
Maybe one day
Someone will remember my name.
Canada.

Falling off the EdgeDo you know what it feels like?
To nearly fall off the edge,
but not quite...
just so that you're dangling;
clinging for your worthless life
lest it fall into the sea of loneliness.
Your callused, pink fingers turning
to a shade of purplish-red of pain
as it does it best to hold on.

Splash.

In the sea of loneliness,
everything is crisp, translucent.
There is nothing around you,
you are alone...
unlike other people,
you have no one
clamouring to save you;
you have no one
diving in to get you out.

There is no point
screaming for help,
you will only waste
the little time and air you have left.
You only have the darkness
of the sea envelop

Honesty Written

from the

heart.

No eraser.

Lost In ConfusionLost In Confusion

My mind is spinning without a rest
Emotions whirl and twirl around
A merry-go-round gaining speed
Until the world blurrs before my eyes
What's happening? What's going on?

The simplest thought slips away
Right from my mind, fading so fast
Trying to focus, I stare and stare
Until my eyes are heavy and unclear.
I don't understand, what is going on..

Emotions rise and fall again
Within the blink of an eye
I'm crying, laughing, and depressed
A roller-coaster ride that never ends
Am I losing my mind in this?

I try to close my eyes and rest
But the world spins me around
I feel like I am failing this test
Voices and noises echo

Deactivatedthere are voids and black holes
and wounds,
papercuts sinking deep into
finger fissures
only to meet the unmarred love
of bones, strong and
bare and pure.

dark oceans are bleached
into tears that leave nothing
but sea salt in my lips

and my words are injustice
to the death of
your poetry.

this is me
drowning,
trying to be
you

trying to preserve the ardor
of your words
and the honey sweet taste
of your passion

it's also
how my lungs work
(when I don't read something from you
I die more than a little on the inside).

The fallen oneYou wanted the world,
you wanted it all.
Your thoughts are whirled.
Here is where you fall.

I allways been there,
to support you in fear.
You kept playing unfair,
this time I won't be near.

Now I stand alone,
but I don't need an army.
I've got my own.
Remember, my name's Benny.

I choose not to involve
the ones I love.
This is what I'll solve.
I don't need help from above.

You won't break my armor,
gonna stand my ground.
I will never surrender.
I will get you downed.

Silence as a weaponAs dark switches to light.
A new day beginning.
We all join the fight,
hoping this time we'll be winning.

The fights have started today,
fists held up high
Not only with that we hold them at bay,
also lyrics are held nearby.

Harm of words, which people create.
Same as melee, it can't hurt the soul.
But silence can penetrate
and it will definitely tear a hole.

Now comes the worst part.
She's acting like a friend.
Talking behind my back, just the start.
Planting a knife like the most evil fiend.

In the end,
it shows as a token.
Stop to pretend.
The silence is broken.

My last apologyThe girl I'm writing this poem for,
she knows it's for her.
This time it isn't filled with gore.
I'm apologizing that's for sure.

I know I've been wrong,
I made more than one mistake.
But i wasn't the only one,
who made this friendship break.

It wasn't for glory,
I even apologized for the smallest crimes.
I said sorry
way too many times.

You just stood there,
never said you're sorry.
You think it's fair,
figuring out another story?

Perfect, it's not mine,
but neither are you.
I don't seek forgiveness this time.
But deep inside I don't want it to be through.

2010, Benny Temmerman

Glance of ignoranceThis is just a game for you,
but for me it hurts.
I am way past through,
the bubble bursts.

This game you're playing,
pushing me around.
I'm the one you're ignoring,
now my heart lies broken on the ground.

When i needed support,
you were always there.
Now it's only when you're bored,
as if you didn't care.

This may sound new to you,
cause you're just fooling.
But i got feelings too
and that's what you're ignoring.

This filthy habit
you became master of.
Destroying me by every bit,
as now I've had enough.

End of bondsMy shield is broken,
the army scattered.
Isn't this a token,
that my soul is shattered?

She acts like I'm air
but i'm less that that.
If only she'd still care.
She doesn't, I bet.

Air is needed to live.
I'm not needed that's for sure.
There's nothing more to give,
so i'm walking through this door.

I tried to get closer,
You kept pushing me away.
Now it's all dark and blur
and above my head a cloud of gray.

I'll close this part,
doing this for you.
Gonna retrieve this broken heart.
I don't deserve it, that's true.

Last train homeAs daylight sets,
the sun goes down.
We forget the regrets,
wiping away the frown.

We will start tomorrow,
trying to gain every kiss.
As affection covers sorrow,
even in the darkest abyss.

She smiles so gracious
but it's for another soul.
Guess I'm just jealous.
She's happy, that's the main goal.

My focus is gone
and this grip I'm losing.
Amount of fantasy equals none.
This isn't fucking amusing.

Now here I stand,
writing this bit by bit.
With a pen in hand,
creating this line to quit.

You're not alone in this fight

Keep your head up and stand tall,
cause you'd be god if you knew it all.
just be the demi-god that you are now
and all pieces will fall in place somehow.
