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
