My beloved bench

I now walk this familiar path

look down at my watch, 8:30 pm.

I sit at my bench, my beloved bench

In the freezing cold and just think.

What a beautiful sight

to see this world at night

I wish this could last forever

but I know nothing lasts forever,

nothing good at least

but this fucked up life of mine,

that'll last forever.

I have to make it better

or I will not survive.

I'd probably commit suicide.

Not like anyone would care

especially not her.

God I'm so fucking stupid.

Why do I still think about her?

Why is she still on my mind?

and why is it

that everytime I see her

my heart stops beating

and my legs stop working

and my lips long to be reunited with hers.

A slap to the face shakes these thoughts away

and then putting a cigarette into my mouth

And making my light ignite, I am calm.

The warmth of the cigarette

combining with the cold of the night

makes every little thing just right.

I sit back and relax

watching the trees sway side to side

making me feel like I sway as well

but this feeling won't last

My buzz is leaving fast.

So I get up and walk away

from my beloved bench on this beautiful night

this bench, however, fills me with fright

I think too much, my mind is right.

Sometimes I feel I'm slipping away.
