1997, She’s gone

On Sunday, August 31st, tragedy.

Prince Charles is on his way to France.

Why are you giving me that sideways glance?

 

On Monday, September 1st, "Let's talk."

Emotions in words, come out as a stutter 
I think did I fail? Or did you prevail? 
My faults and mistakes are not yours to bear 
You have enough trauma yourself to wear 
I felt I was lost, like tears in rain
