The Letter by Todd Kessler published on 2017-09-21T05:02:48Z I heard you coming up the stairs to the attic As I waited with bated breath The memory so clear to me still Though I travelled so far to forget I went to lose myself in the city Cut my hair thinking I could erase Every woman I saw was Delilah Every corner I would see your face I wrote you a letter But I never sent it out I couldn’t face it If you turned me down So I keep it in my pocket right next to my heart And now I am back to where I started I went looking for the living saints Thought if only I could bury the plague But I found my heart was the leper Beyond healing with just my faith In the ruins of that ancient city I couldn’t find what I sought A holy war with myself I battled My own demons had finally won I wrote you a letter But I never sent it out I couldn’t face it If you turned me down So I keep it in my pocket right next to my heart And now I am back to where I started I should have stayed here Should have met you on the stairs I’d have told you then not to marry him And I’m back now in the city we once shared Just praying that I’ll find you here If only I’d have sent the letter I Could have followed through on my plan As it is I’m left here waiting I am now the other man I am now the other man I am now the other man Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Jack!sm Very inspiring 2018-07-26T19:52:45Z
