Son

Ambition fades
with age
yet, I know
if I have one shred left
inside me
it would be
to be
a little bit more
like you.

Bad

You do know
the best I can give you
is a bad reputation

N York

New York
you were always
too much
or was that just
me?

Frances Raeburn Mar 3

Stuff!

stay exactly
as you stand
today
for me
you are perfect
and I know stuff!

Frances Raeburn Mar 3

Never

I never asked
for tomorrow
I think
That was you

Who

Just sorting through
the thrash
this morning
saw you there
from the corner of my eye
at this early hour
my goodness
who in the world
put you there?

Pain

I am a long way away
from your pain
I know that
I can’t share it
I know that
I am such a long way away
from your pain
I know that
yet somehow
I feel it anyway.
