Worn Ruse (Free verse) by drnick He'd like to touch you
But you're not there.
You're in a worn ruse
He cannot see through.
Silence guides in
Thoughts, fears, lies.
You will crush him
A mind of depression.
He'll contrive
Your false mind
And you'll do
What you need to.
Logic signs
Pass him by
Another worn ruse
He will not see through.

I like the first verse. The second is rather overwrought fears, lies, depression etc. Try not no be so wise about the character. Let him act in the poem.

I do see what you mean, thank you!
Is she "in" a worn ruse, or acting it? And if it's worn (as in seen by him before) why is he not seeing through it?
She's in a worn ruse that is acted by his mind. He doesn't see through it because it is a psychological disorder of some sort. I realize that I need to develop that thought so as the reader has a better understanding. Thank you!
I've been acted on by worn ruses and like to think I'm ruse-hardened, but never really am.
fabulous concept not done full justice by this poem
Bravo. Some psychological problem from how I see it and very well put. I like the phrase... Logic signs pass him by. You could do with an edit , but I think from one point of view, you've already made your point. Good work.
the middle stanza is completely unnecessary. remove it and this piece will be much stronger.
