Instead
Music and lyrics by Elisa Korenne
My letters go unwritten
Your notes I leave unread
Forget that I forgot you
And remember me instead
The smoke whispers heartache
Embers fight the dark
Your presence never stronger
Than since we’ve been apart
Time goes on unbidden
Fingers twist my sleeve
My shoulders to attention
The bell tolls twice for me
The rumble in your belly
The tired in your eyes
Too long since you were marching
Too long you linger outside
The candle flames and sputters
The wax spills to the sheets
Forget that I forgot you
And leave me the night to greet
