The Letter Is Proof

Folder: 
The Present

I’d rather be talking with you

Then sittin’ here alone in this room

Creation breeds a certain relief

These photo negatives are too obscene

So I put them back under the bed

To try and hide all the things we did



I hear you’re now in Baton Rogue

Two kids, a car

This letter is proof

You went too far

Did you think it through



I’ve read it through at least five times

But you hid nothing between the lines

Like the moment we first made love

The time you cried, my eyes fogged

With saline tears that fell on your chest

The open wound though burned is blessed



I hear you’re now in Baton Rogue

Two kids, a car

This letter is proof

That life’s too hard

Did you think it through



I flew to New York to try and clear my head

But the vows we made I still believe they’re there

So I’m coming down to Baton Rogue

This letter is love sealed for you



I hear you’re now in Baton Rogue

Our kids, our car

This letter is proof

That life’s was hard

When I walked out the door

And walked away from you



I hope you know I’m in Baton Rogue

With this letter of love still sealed for you

Cause life was hard

This letter is proof
