• fall away (not finished and feedback is greatly appreciated)

  She said, “All I wanted was your trust
  But it was just too much to ask”         
         “I can only be my broken self            
          I'm sorry if that's not enough”           
  “Oh you're everything I want            
  But not the way you are                     
  If only a wish could be a horse                 
  I'd ride this one so far”                      
  
  He said “I don't trust a soul                           
  It's not a thing you can control”                    
        “I was never good at letting go                      
         Because I hate to live with the unknown”     
  “Life isn't a fairy tale                                     
  And no kiss can  make this frog a prince      
  There's no such thing as happy ever after”

• religion and the wizard of oz

  RELIGION:

  
  

  one man

  just a man
  

  behind a curtain
  

  using his hands
  

  to create an illusion of grandeur 

  he's a glorified puppeteer

  
  

  he rules

  creates rules
  

  from an emerald tower
  

  deceiving fools

  because anonymity gives him power

  over the witches and the munchkins

• georgia on my mind

  father what was this land like
  before it was overrun with bulldozers, and shovels, and millions of feet?
  
  why son, she was pure
  her skin was the richest soil
  and her eyes were the clearest sky
  her hair was fine like stalks of grain
  and her fragrance was a field of flowers
  
  her hips rolled like the hills
  and swayed like the trees
  and under the full moon she bayed like a wolf
  and bucked like a mare
  
  her passion was a roaring river
  and her love was still pools
  
  our courting was in fall
  winter saw her as my bride
  spring was a honeymoon
  and in summer she grew ripe as fruit on a vine
  
  her children were the owls and trout
  the foxes and hares
  the wolves and deer
  
  then her children were ripped from her bosom
  and she was stripped of all her glory
  but i remember her the way she was
  before she was adulterated

• wedding cake

  she had waited eighteen years
  and she was tired of waiting
  so she took a tiny bit of frosting off the top
  and it was so delicious that she couldn't stop
  
  just one more bite
  turned into two. three. four.
  maybe more
  and slowly the pieces disappeared
  
  after all, it was very tasty cake
  
  when the day came to celebrate
  she was caught with cake on her face
  and a pile of crumbs on a plate
  and nothing more.

• stride straight

  i'll stride straight
  until i reach
  New Jersey
  or at least until the Hudson
  the HUDSON
  oh, the river Hudson
  
  and when i reach the Hudson
  i'll either sink or swim
  
  if i'm lucky i'll reach the other shore
  ...or...
  HE could politely part the waters
  and i'll just walk across
  
  maybe i'll keep marching on
  until i reach the Wash-ing-ton
  
  but all the same i could just jump
  and
      sink
         like
            a
                 lead
                       weight
                            down
  
  and they'll never find me
  and it'll be
  finally!
  quite quiet
