Cabin in the woods

 


Maybe we could stay

in a little cabin in the woods,

a place hidden away from the world

and all those disapproving looks.

Where the log fire burns

and we can hold each other there,

we can drink hot cocoa as we

cuddle for warmth,

watching the flames dance with the air

under the brightest moon

that has ever taken form.

But then, I've seen enough movies to know

that this will end in a horror show,

a rain of blood will flow from

the scratches in the walls

and our getaway will end on a low

as we run into the trees

trying to escape

from some demonic entities

and their howling calls.

 

We could escape

to a little shack

by a secluded lake,

where we can watch the moon skim

over the surface skin,

listen to the loons calling

whilst our whispers are kept

where no hidden ears can listen in.

But then, what if there are evils within?

Living dead ambling through the blanket night.

Unleashed from some ancient curse

or a book of words written in devilish verse.

I don’t think I can stand to see you

torn in two by a creature

from another dimensional universe.

 

Maybe we could find an hotel,

complete with a maze of corridors.

We can talk until late,

staring lovingly, lost

into each other's gaze,

but what if we were

to meet an awful fate?

Blood spilling from the elevators

flooding those corridors

whilst madness entices us.

I don’t think I could survive if you were

to take on a possessed state,

chasing me down

with an axe to cut my door

into splinters upon the ground.

Id lay my life on the floor,

for I’d never want to sever our connection

for any reason at all.

I’d let you hold me there in your lair

because I could never leave you, I fear.

 

Maybe we could seek some quiet retreat

in a quaint little village by the sea,

a little island getaway, perhaps,

where just a few locals stay

and the only passage away

is a boat that travels once a week

as the dawn light laps upon the shore.

But what if that was our downfall?

Surrounded by a cult who worship the devil,

ready to sacrifice us when the last bell tolls.

I don’t think I could watch as they subject you to evil.

I’d have to let them burn me at the pyre

to give you an escape, which would be my last desire.

 

Maybe we could take a break

in a castle far away,

a gothic work of art, only accessible

via horse and cart,

driven across mountain passes

through misty passages.

But I fear we could end up

surrounded by the children of the night,

sucked dry in the blink of an eye,

and I don’t want to watch

as you become one of them,

sinking your teeth into me.

Maybe we are best to just stay

where we are, in the arms of love

where no monsters can get

a stake on your heart.
