Used

I used to be
your favourite drunk
What happened?

Frances Raeburn Jul 2023

Let

Let me just settle
your presence
upon my skin
let me just understand
this is a begin.

Better

You said
leave me where you found me
and in the leaving
you will find
a better you.

You

nothing creates
nothing
yet somehow
I found you

Almost

I love you almost
and I know you almost love me too
how many more years
do we have to make it through
to make us
almost true.

Wish

I wish I meant less
to you
it would silence
the slamming of the door.

Quite

Love was never meant
to be easy
I can’t remember who
told me that
and I am not yet sure
they got it quite
right
