I buried my father
although no one claimed the ****
I buried my father
with my brother, my sister
my mother dressed to ****
I buried my father
we haven’t bothered
with the will

Leave it now
at this late hour
leave it at the door
in the morning
the sunrise will
surely scourge its power

My eyes can’t quite see you
my ears struggle to hear you
my arms can’t quite reach you
my lips cannot speak to you
my heart can’t quite love you
my sister never quite liked you.

You played my love
like the sweetest violin
the music so sweet to me
I couldn’t see the begin
I was soaked in gin
I couldn’t see the
begin
the begin
forgive me
I couldn’t see the begin.

I wonder how it feels
to know
I was always only and ever
in love
with you
Frances Raeburn Jun 2023
don’t listen
to my words
I lie
better than anyone
you have ever tried to love
ever
before.

has there ever been a better day
than this
has there ever been a better place
than this
has there ever been better people
than this
has there ever been a better feeling
that this
probably , I guess.
I just haven’t been there yet.
