a little cabin in the woods
packed our bags but left them there
driving back to pick them up
we pass some bears swimming
so we join them in the frolic
but they are not bears
no, no they are your parents
and they begin to eat me alive
and you simply sit and watched
Go get the car, please, get the car
****** hands on the steering wheel
we attempt our escape
but the roads are too icy
and the tires lose traction
I looked at you
you looked at me
we knew it was over

*and then I wake up
Alexis Martin Sep 2012
The kind of waking up
that rattles my bones
fogs my memory
blurs the lines
between dreams
and reality

what time is it
what day is it
where am I
where was I

but the absolute worst
part of this kind of waking
is not having you here
to comfort me with kisses

I wish I could give you
more reasons to love me
but I am sorely lacking
in that department
.
I wish you could see me
the way I see the flowers
but I am sadly hidden
behind fraudulence
.
I wish I could tell you
how my love for you grows
but I am fully consumed
with fear of rejection
.
I wish you could consume me
like the waves eat the shoreline
but I am surely no source
of any nutrition for your soul

I thought you were going to like me
forever and always
but instead
you liked the way
the back of your hand
felt against my face
you liked the way
my throat tightened
when you came
you liked the way
my wrists bleed
when you were with her
you liked the way
the ambulance sounded
when it took me away

you liked all these lovely things about me
but yet you never really liked *me

the train is coming
the choice is yours
take my hand
and jump with me
or pull me in close
and kiss me farewell

she does not sleep
she merely
rises
with the moon
and sets
with the sun
-
she does not breathe
she merely
inhales
like the tides
and exhales
like the wind

exhaustion
it has taken over
and over
and under
(over you)
(under you)
still not sure why
you are the hide
to my game of seek

my trains of thought
depart to destinations
but never arrive
leaving me stranded

what was I writing about?
you again?
couldn't be
could it be?
just go away
but please don't leave
not again

indecisive and selfish
what a deadly combination
love me forever
me and only me
I want you to be happy
but I only make you cry
I hate myself.

dizzy dizzy dizzy
my head is always spinning
time to close my eyes
maybe I won't wake up
one can only hope
