Us
the power of us
the joy of us
the precious of us
the pure good of us
the easy of us
the lovely of us
the worth of us
the best of us
has somehow
become lesser
tangled
confused
and lost
somewhere deep in
the complicated and confused effort of
trying to be
just the two of us .


but still
I’m going nowhere
pour me another song
and I’ll sing you another heartache!
Frances Raeburn Mar 2024
when you came
to take me home I
went willingly
took your hand
easily
then you made
too many left turns
led me down
too many
blind alleys
left me more lost
that I was before
you came and said
let me take you
home.
I am safe
and so are you
you are home.

I am leaving now
my love
and I will leave my heart with you
safekeeping
for better days
no longer can I stay.

we speak the same language
yet can’t understand
a single word
we are trying to say
to each other.

I knew myself better
when I wore
another man’s
clothes

Sleep easy, he said
if only
but never again with you
I thought.
Frances Raeburn Feb 2024
When I left you
I didn’t realise
there was a tiny morsel of you
sewn into my heart
forever
