Tea-Soaked Letter

by Anna Burch

Strange, the ones you love
Could bury your body underground
I woke up too late again
Would you start the coffee, my only friend?

I forgot to fake
The way that I was feeling
I guess it's too late
Now all my cards are showing

No, you can't come up
Who am I kidding? I would drag you up
What was that you said?
That I don't exist inside your head?

You said you communicate better
So what will you send me?
A tea-soaked letter?

I feel so alone
When everyone in town is overblown
So I made a scene
I can think of things more embarrassing

I forgot to fake
The way that I was feeling
I guess it's too late
Now all my cards are showing

You said you communicate better
So what will you send me?
A tea-soaked letter?

You're all I wanted
