Letter 47

from Beyond My Showerhead by Tommy DiMeo

lyrics

Things got hard
And I got lazy
Now I can't see
Beyond this yellow-purple haze that's in my eyes

I'll walk home slow
Cause I doubt I'll get
To where I'm headed soon

Summer sent my heart back seasons
I hope by the fall I'll recall
Reasons why I'm right where I belong

Static is a losing game
What a shame to stay the same
And watch the world keep
begging me to change

The girl from last year died at the last midnight of December
Now I'm working up the nerve to finally pull the plug as well

Winter followed right from fall
Left me feeling awfully small
I'd put myself in silly situations

I spent that summer
Like a fool, in need of healing
Sitting weeks out on my porch
To understand what I’d been feeling

Christmas landed on a Wednesday
All I wanted was to
Make it through the week
Full-knowing we won’t speak

I committed to
Always offering you the time of day
I'm a lover not a fighter
And I've never known another way

I've committed to
Always offering you the time of day
In class they taught me reason
But my heart, it works another way

She's my favorite way to claim that not a day has passed
And not a thing has changed
Just like these songs I know won’t last
Them and her, to me, are just one and them same

So I'll keep writing
If you keep reading
You'll be the cloth that stops my rain-soaked ears from bleeding
Out the thoughts that I hold in

I think it’s far too late for you
You've heard these notes
You’re bleeding too
I promise next time, I'll do better
