In between ish
Frances Raeburn Aug 2020
In between
Everywhere
I have been
And in between
Everything I have seen
In between
The desperate
late night calls
I want you to know
That
In between
It all
Honestly
I know it doesn’t show but
Honestly
In between it all
I am
honestly
doing
Okay

Know this
Frances Raeburn Aug 2020
There is always an answer
Know this
If you know nothing else
There is always a road out
A light
A tunnel
Know this
There is always a song
A vague melody you can recall
Know this
There is always someone
watching
Know this
If you know nothing else
There is always
a way out
But not for long.

Friends
Frances Raeburn Aug 2020
You are the best friends
A girl
Could ever ask for
Glamorous
Caring
Present
Delightful
I am
Blessed
Forever
And honestly
Grateful
But
What a shame
you
Will never
Ever
Really
Know
Me

Throw
Frances Raeburn Aug 2020
Throw the rope
I’m here
Barely hanging on
That’s clear
Throw it
I’m here
Racked with fear
Throw it
Let’s pretend
even at this late hour
Something
will stay dear

War
Frances Raeburn Aug 2020
War
The world is at war
With children
They are small
We are big
They are weak
We are strong
We will most likely
Win
Which one of us will lead
In triumphant song?

Nah!
Frances Raeburn Jul 2020
No
Let’s leave it at that
Shall we?

Words
Frances Raeburn Aug 2020
So many beautiful words
thrown at me each day
I want to catch them mid flight
mix them up
help them catch the light
But however high I reach
they hover
just above my reach
So many beautiful words
thrown at me each day
I long to touch them
feel them
breath them
write them
But they remain
just a little bit out of sight
too high
And a little bit
a little always
just that much
too high

— The End —
