~~Go To Sleep: Two Sonnets~~

ONE

I never believed in her

Never believed she was real

She tore me from my tether

I cut her so she could feel

She tore me from head to toe

Pulled me down to her level

Told me she loved me, though a fool would know

How much of a lie that was, how much trouble

But yet I know I'd still listen

I know I would still believe the falsity

In her, I can find a place to fasten

My rope, and keep myself dangling above the agony

But she never believed in me

And now she walks away sleeplessly....

TWO

Inside, I run, try to hide

Outside, I dance

Within, there are no lies

Without, I have not a chance

But I'll just go to sleep
It won't matter when I wake

My love, he will keep, he will keep

He will keep me from taking

My life, my life

With this blasted gun

Or maybe his precious knife

I thought he had been someone

That I could really trust

But there was no one that was just....
