Promise Not To Stop When I Say When Poem by Kurt Barekman

Dreams in the night sky
so many things to do before i die
i had hoped to say
something about my dreams held at bay
tired eyes do look with disdain
terrible things full of pain
misery, and most of all hate
but wait please all we must do is wait
take me in your arms let me know its okay
save me before i have to pay
tears leaving tracks on cheeks
the man behind them so meek
afraid of his shadow afraid of all
all he can do day after day is bawl
fading fast a window of blame
on whom ever we can find so lame
are we
crippled as can be
horrifying thoughts cross their minds
fighting so fiercely i am bound
and chased through the woods by the hounds
kiss me my sweet
i am not worthy to wash your feet
a mind so unclean
no information you can glean
lost in a forest of dispair
broken teeth tangled hair
it wont hurt i promise
not if you promise
sincerely to not stop when i say when
keep on going whip me in my pen
make me bleed
take not the warnings i heed
scars rise up pink
so ugly i am they must think
they know nothing
about their punishing
soon it will be here
sent to hell never to return my dear
hang on soon we are free
soon we are full of glee.
