Nonsense Ruminations in Poetry Form #3
~ana barton~


you're cruel, absolutely sadistic
throwing me around the house
loving me so recklessly i bleed
beating me til i'm more than black and blue
kissing me so i can't breathe

where'd the gentleness go?
letters, flowers, tokens of love
wonderful moments beneath the moon
laughter and happiness
you let me go over the precipice

i fell over, broken and shattered
you glued the pieces together
you made me whole and new
kept me warm and safe
yours to do with as you pleased

when will this end?
when will you go?
when can i leave?
trapped inside my own body
i cannot help but cry




Nonsense Ruminations in Poetry Form #1
~ana barton~

Darkness, everywhere I look
Up and down, side to side
Black, unscrutable black
The ballad of light
Never more in my mind
I see none
No one will hear me
No one will see me
Nothing could be
Nothing is
Nothing will be

I am what you see
But you are blinded
Light, everything so bright
Can you hear me?
Will you see me?

Blood on my hands
Dripping on the floor
Wipe it off, I can not see
Blot it out, I can not breathe
Cover up

Let me be as I am now
Not when and where
I used to be then and there

My mind is blank, nothing registers
Thirty minutes on and I pass out
Living is a dumb way of dying
Existing to survive
Lie to me and see the truth
I detect no one
I sense everyone
Awaiting my demise

Deliver me from my sins
Trespasses I made in your name
You are nameless still
No one worships you
They all get down on their knees
Coz they ain't got nothing else
Blinders serves them right
They can not see me
And I delight in my dark
I am by myself
No one can see me
No one can hear me
No one can hurt me
