Weight

Weight

A Poem by Gem Marie

We all end up alone which is no different than when we sleep with no dream
It's a scheme we set for ourselves in our subconscious submarine trying to make it upstream
Is there really not an I in team?
I cant even begin to compare
Charades and musical chairs
You gotta let me know when the music stops
Because I dont think I can play along anymore than I can hold my breath
I've gone deaf
Drop flop goes my heart again, crying over you I'm at that limit
Where the steering wheel starts to shake and it gets hard to brake
Lights all up in my face, there's so much that needs to be erased
But I can't shake it like an etch a sketch, the beads have been replaced
I've got a concussion from the constant rush and
I cant even soak up the pleasure before the pain sets in
These rays tell me its going all wrong
I can't get you out of my head, like an overplayed radio song
It hurts when I breathe, im talking reality not metaphorically
It's like someone took the air right outta me
The passion it comes in waves, it's you I crave
Remind me why we play these silly games
Remind me why I chose to stay or think it will somehow work out this way
I lost all rubberband technicality from all the slingshot brutality
The good always outweighs the bad
No matter how many times I've had
Dried the tears cried, reminded of the lungs fried because of skin cells that have died
You should be tried for all the commited crimes not yet submitted
Voice boxes stay on strike there is no silent treatment i wont get sick of
I refuse to like blue over moon, white over sun
It's just a passing cloud baby I guess you'll always be my number one
I'd rather get baked, dehydrate the fact that I might have made a mistake
Makes me wanna throw up, regurgitate everything that I couldn't say
Cause at this moment I just want this all to fade away
Every single day it seems you leave me at a disarray
And I cant control the way my heart is wired addicted to the little bit of fire
That warmth you give me
Is so dangerous, touch and go without recovery, so precarious
Number one baby, always a Gerber baby, too busy spoon feeding you to realize I'm bleeding hues
Of red because this maroon love just won't let go and prey on somebody else instead
There is no alternative note to comfort my soul and occupy my ears because its you I hear
You're the song I sing, no matter what the weather brings
Thru day and night, all we do is fight
Whitewashed and desert dry
The only words that have no meaning are sorry and goodbye
