Dark Romanticism poem...

All around were tears
Sad faces and sobs
People will be praying for years
O! Me, I hope they don't come after...

The past is such a dangerous thing,
And everyone seems to take a swing...
Bumps and bruises are left behind.
O! did they have to be so blind?

My gown is long, not revealing at all.
For no one can see what happens at night.
So as not to hurt the tender spots, I wear a simple shawl.
O! But in fear, I clutch it so tight.

The past is such a dangerous thing,
And everyone seems to take a swing...
Bumps and bruises are left behind.
O! did they have to be so blind?

I watch as his body is lowered, and in my mind I see his stone cold face.
Yet through the pain, it sets my heart racing and skin aglow...
Am I such a disgrace?
O! Why did he abuse me so?

  1. o.o Wow. That was great, Blu. It's kinda funny that I'm learning about Romanticism in English class right now, too...
