Nellie Kate Biography

Dear you again,
I write these letters but never send them.
They were never meant to be sent in the first place.
They were supposed to be a reminder of who you are.
...

You said I suck, and it hurt.
But I didn't want to argue so all I said was 'Thanks'.
You said I was a liar, and that felt like a stab in the back
But I didn't want the war to start again,
...

Take a breath and then set sail.
The sailor has no idea he isn't coming home.
Storm clouds roll in but he keeps going.
His wife at home cooking and waiting.
...

I love the way you brush your finger through my hair while I read.
I love it when you lay your arms on my legs while relaxing.
I love when you ask me to draw a name on your arm.
Even though that name isn't mine.
...

You look at me and see a smile
Trying to make your time worthwhile
Trying to make you see I'm fine
But on my arm leaves a thin line
...
