Everybody Lies

Everybody Lies

A Poem by Benjamin Seymour

 

There’s a hole in my wallet

Where your face should be

It seems kind of relevant to keep it like that

Since you left me

Lost dreams amidst all the screams

Of a tranquil summers day

Feeling fine when it’s just about time

For all the bars to close for the day

 

I know that everybody lies

But it doesn't have to be all the time

 

Thinking of you thinking of me thinking of you

Is the only thing that keeps me sane

Forgetting about all the memories

Is more than I could take

I needed you and I told you so

You just brushed me away

It seems slightly relevant

That you’re not here again today

 

I know that everybody lies

But it doesn't have to be all the time

 

Whether or not it’s the same as before

I really couldn’t say

Been here so long I think I’m starting to rot

Maybe one day I’ll have rotted away

There is a shaft of light, out in the distance

It’s probably an oncoming train

Retrospective insolence

Is about my only claim to fame

 

I know that everybody lies

But it doesn’t need to be all the time.

I am glad to have stumbled upon your work. I enjoy the raw tumble of emotions.

I'm going to be a hippy and say I totally feel this.


"I know that everybody lies
But it doesn�t need to be all the time"

That's raw. I love the fact that it so clearly explains the thing I've always thought, especially lately.

This flows really well, and your word choices in the beginning make it even better. Nice job.
