Disney’s The Princess And The Frog (2009)

i could write a million lines

about how the snow fell tonight

and how the lights reflected in your eyes

yes i could go on and on

about how that frost covered lawn

sparkled until it shone

and maybe im just intoxicated

but i'm nothing less than elated

because now im sure this has all been fated

and i'll stick by you forever if you let me

[marionohman]

a sibling without a brother

a mother missing a son

you're gone and you've left nothing behind

except for everyone

i go to sign the guest book

and think of you again

look down at my hand

and imagine you're holding the pen

this city's always been cold

it seems freezing now

your absence hits

like a snowplough

and this poem is bad

because death is not poetic

grief hard to face

but it's better than being apathetic

i don't think i can leave you behind

don't think i can move on

until we meet again

beyond the light of dawn

us girls will be like "my princess" and it's just sal vulcano

[marionohman]

i lay in a tub half full

look up through your man made waves

those lace curtains come crashing to the floor

of your battle ground stage

your fabricated motive

and your preemptive tears

fall into my porcelain tomb

and like the water, fill my ears

love marks on your neck

and scratches on your arms

did you think things through

before you came to harm

then your brow unfurrows

and you come back to reality

and that look of horror and regret

is the last thing i ever see

[marionohman]

its coming to be that time of the year

for feasts and family and wine and song

i look forward to family christmas dinner usually

but its a new anniversary this year

the last time i ever saw you

i can't remember if i hugged you goodbye

but even if i did

the last time i held you will always be in the car with your urn in my lap

you're gone now and dinner will be quieter

the weather reminds me of you

snow at last christmas

and at your funeral a month later

it falls again this year like always

as quiet and constant as the sadness you left behind

[marionohman]

i miss the tap tap muppets iphone game sooo bad

[marionohman]

you could cast a golden line

and tether a star to your heart

you could build a shade to dull the shine

and stake your claim like bonaparte

you could wrap my feet in leaden chains

and tie me to your side

you could give yourself control of the reins

and whatever else you decide

but the stars been dead a long long time

and the ropes begin to untie

the funeral bells begin to chime

and it's time you say goodbye

you always say you can read my eyes

see the fear and pain

that i've learned to hide

when i look to the water

i can't help but wonder

if you see anything else

than the sadness i'm under

can you see the joy

while i sit here with you

when salt sprays up from the waves

that the bow cuts through

we have dinner and wine

and the sorrow is easy forget

because you stand at my side

and we watch the summer sun set

so, do i look like him?

🦌🪞🦌

idk what this is but it’s yours now

[marionohman]

i could drive out to the city

hide among the people there

i could run into the woods

and hibernate like a bear

i could lay very still

let the snow cover me up

i could seek shelter in a drink

fall to the bottom of my cup

i could try to forget

but i always remember

i can't stop time

i must face another november
