Tomorrow

When everyone said
dust yourself down
get up
wake up
don’t wear a frown
you said
take my hand
lay down
tomorrow
you’ll own this town

Almost

When the party
is almost done
and the songs
are almost sung
and we are having
almost fun
that’s the time
I almost
run.

Maybe

maybe
let me not be the last ember
in your fire
I still have a flicker
within
that could ignite
to a higher power

After

I cannot love myself
after loving you

Frances Raeburn Nov 2022

Surrender

I have no strength
to wage war upon you
anymore
white flag
It’s me
I surrender

Frances Raeburn Nov 2022

You

What do people do
when they don’t have
you?
