And next tonight...

by

My cowardice astounds me
In the face of certain death,
When maybe she's the best of friends
For those in pain and short of breath
Who count the sighs til morphine drip
Is once again replaced at noon
And muffled cries the silence rip
And life remains forever,
Sundered.

For Frankie if I lose you ►
