Oakwood Fires
I Spread Wildfires of Your Disdain into a Longitude so Longing to be set AblaZe
And you dare reprehend the Torches in My Hand?
The ones you yourselves Carried and Started Fires with?
Drag me to the Stake!
Drag me to the Stake.
For I am a Witch for Loving you.
Raised by the Bottle no Sippy cups strait to Vodka Shots
So Heavy
I can't raise my Pinky in Respect to you
Respect to my Elders
Respect Back to You....With no respect back to me
Mountains may tremble in Your name But Fountains are torn upon their Graves
and Placed on a young man's Shoulder
Who Can't hold the World like Atlas did,
Yet Alone a Fountain. But strong enough to look to his God for an answer
And my Spells?
My Spells do no good.
Only Pride Boasting lies to increase Your size.
I'm Frozen on my Stake
Cannot put out the Fires you have Started and I have Spread
because I never knew.
I never knew of your fuscia infused past
Where you dug up gardens so they'll never last
Steal the Rampion Because your Darling Daughter has been stolen already By Herself
Not by the Boy with the Fountains on his shoulders who you so rudely accused
But by Herself
And I long to stand on the Gym Floor with the Fountains.
But You won't let me drink so long as I am on my Oakwood pole
and that is your mistake
That my 10th year of Education is a Fire you started on Your Probation
Proclamations, Segregation, Flirtation, Graduation and my rules will never be spoken
Buy Why won't you tell me?
There are 3 Broken Glasses name Pinocchio That I am not allowed to talk to
But I am so in love with and
I hold their button eyes as webs between my fingers
Struggling not to let them hit the floor and fall into the gutter.
But I am not allowed to to love.
I try to paint without canvas behind a screen door
But you take the Paints away
the ones you so generously bought me and never told me I couldn't use
Zippers on Jackets keep things in Less than You
Your not a Zipper
Rather Buttons
Which need 2 hands to undo and
You cant even spare 1 for me to get off that stake
And undo my Jacket
Let alone to Undo Yours and spill out what I am restricted to
I'll say my amens to satisfy us all
But Please take me Off of this Wildfire Oakwood Stake
and Put me into the arms of the Boy with the Fountains on his Shoulders.
