Sylvia\'s Mother Said
Sylvia’s mother said
Let go and forget him
No way is he worth it
Let go and enjoy being free
Sylvia’s mother said
Your babies are hungry
Whatever you do keep them
Safe and away from your poetry
Sylvia’s mother said
Both Frieda and Nicholas
Must not be allowed
To go it alone
Life should be easier
And more than a gas
When you’re a mother of
Just thirty years old
Sylvia’s mother said
Put the pen down now
Come sit by the fire
My word you look cold
And the operator says
You don’t have to do this
Don’t cry you don’t have to go it alone
There is never a best way to die
