Sarah Dobson Poem
Undiluted.
Unhardened.
Monkey arms swing by your side,
You still love steam-trains 'cause of Thomas.
Simple and pure as the dew are your desires,
Your smile more real than the sun's first rays.
A heart untainted
...but unrefined.
Right now it never can be mine.
My heart caves in.
Baby boy, I'm not your mother,
Puppy eyes beg me to smother
You, your heart, our life together.
An Oedipus complex we just can't weather.
Darling I need more than you give
We're not dead but we don't know how to live
My darling, my baby, my love, my hope
Ebbs quietly, softly away with my smile.

Sarah Dobson Poem
My tortoise shell smells sour still-
no bracing wind here pricks my eyes;
no fake hellos or how are yous;
no one to tell me what I'm not.
My cell's walls harder than an oyster's case.
Girl, child, vile, slut.
Be ashamed, oh be ashamed.
So young and you disgust me still.
Permanent state of affairs.
The baby steps soon come undone.
Blood I cry for, blood I want
Too hurt inside to close my eyes,
Each small betrayal pierces me-
The human condition.
Don't want to live, don't want to die,
don't want to laugh, can't bear to cry-
The human condition, depression, condition.
Can't bear for him to think he's won
but that's no reason to overcome.
Can't bear to live, too scared to die.
Wish I had the guts to die.
Haven't I been punished enough?
What, pray, was my crime?
AHA! I want to disappear!
You'd never guess that I was here.
Screw them! It's not their bag of pain;
Not their life's work out in the rain,
Never want to wake up again
The Lady of Shalott.
