Theodosia
|
|
writes
|
|
me
|
|
a
|
|
letter
|
|
every
|
|
day
|
|
I'm
|
|
keeping
|
|
the
|
|
bed
|
|
warm
|
|
while
|
|
her
|
|
husband
|
|
is
|
|
away.
|
|
He's
|
|
on
|
|
the
|
|
British
|
|
side
|
|
in
|
|
Georgia.
|
|
He's
|
|
trying
|
|
to
|
|
keep
|
|
the
|
|
colonies
|
|
inline
|
|
but
|
|
he
|
|
can
|
|
keep
|
|
all
|
|
of
|
|
Georgia.
|
|
Theodosia,
|
|
she's
|
|
mine.
|
|
Love
|
|
doesn't
|
|
discriminate
|
|
between
|
|
the
|
|
sinners
|
|
and
|
|
the
|
|
saints.
|
|
It
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
keep
|
|
on
|
|
loving
|
|
anyway.
|
|
We
|
|
laugh
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
cry
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
break
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
make
|
|
our
|
|
mistakes
|
|
and
|
|
if
|
|
there's
|
|
a
|
|
reason
|
|
I'm
|
|
by
|
|
her
|
|
side
|
|
when
|
|
so
|
|
many
|
|
have
|
|
tried
|
|
then
|
|
I'm
|
|
willingly
|
|
to
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.
|
|
I'm
|
|
willingly
|
|
to
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.
|
|
My
|
|
grandfather
|
|
was
|
|
a
|
|
fire
|
|
and
|
|
brimstone
|
|
preacher
|
|
(Preacher,
|
|
preacher,
|
|
preacher.)
|
|
But
|
|
there
|
|
are
|
|
things
|
|
that
|
|
the
|
|
homilies
|
|
and
|
|
hymns
|
|
won't
|
|
teach
|
|
ya.
|
|
(Teach
|
|
ya,
|
|
teach
|
|
ya,
|
|
teach
|
|
ya.)
|
|
My
|
|
mother
|
|
was
|
|
a
|
|
genius.
|
|
(Genius)
|
|
My
|
|
father
|
|
commanded
|
|
respect
|
|
(Respect,
|
|
respect.)
|
|
when
|
|
they
|
|
died
|
|
they
|
|
left
|
|
no
|
|
instructions
|
|
just
|
|
a
|
|
legacy
|
|
to
|
|
protect.
|
|
Death
|
|
doesn't
|
|
discriminate
|
|
between
|
|
the
|
|
sinners
|
|
and
|
|
the
|
|
saints
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
keep
|
|
living
|
|
anyway.
|
|
We
|
|
rise
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
fall
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
break
|
|
and
|
|
we
|
|
make
|
|
our
|
|
mistakes
|
|
and
|
|
if
|
|
there's
|
|
a
|
|
reason
|
|
I'm
|
|
still
|
|
alive
|
|
when
|
|
everyone
|
|
who
|
|
loves
|
|
me
|
|
has
|
|
died.
|
|
I'm
|
|
willing
|
|
to
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.
|
|
(Wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.)
|
|
I'm
|
|
willing
|
|
to
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.
|
|
I
|
|
am
|
|
the
|
|
one
|
|
thing
|
|
in
|
|
life
|
|
I
|
|
can
|
|
control.
|
|
(Wait
|
|
for
|
|
it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.)
|
|
I
|
|
am
|
|
inimitable
|
|
I
|
|
am
|
|
an
|
|
original.
|
|
I'm
|
|
not
|
|
falling
|
|
behind
|
|
or
|
|
running
|
|
late.
|
|
(Wait
|
|
for
|
|
it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.)
|
|
I'm
|
|
not
|
|
standing
|
|
still
|
|
I
|
|
am
|
|
lying
|
|
in
|
|
wait.
|
|
(Wait,
|
|
wait,
|
|
wait.)
|
|
Hamilton
|
|
faces
|
|
an
|
|
endless
|
|
uphill
|
|
climb
|
|
(Climb,
|
|
climb,
|
|
climb.)
|
|
He
|
|
has
|
|
something
|
|
to
|
|
prove,
|
|
he
|
|
has
|
|
nothing
|
|
to
|
|
lose.
|
|
(Lose,
|
|
lose,
|
|
lose,
|
|
lose.)
|
|
Hamilton's
|
|
pace
|
|
is
|
|
relentess,
|
|
he
|
|
wastes
|
|
no
|
|
time
|
|
(Time,
|
|
time,
|
|
time.)
|
|
What
|
|
is
|
|
it
|
|
like
|
|
in
|
|
his
|
|
shoes?
|
|
Hamilton
|
|
doesn't
|
|
hesitate
|
|
he
|
|
exhibits
|
|
no
|
|
restraint,
|
|
he
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
he
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
he
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
he
|
|
keeps
|
|
winning
|
|
anyway.
|
|
He
|
|
changes
|
|
the
|
|
game,
|
|
he
|
|
plays
|
|
and
|
|
he
|
|
raises
|
|
the
|
|
stakes
|
|
and
|
|
if
|
|
there's
|
|
a
|
|
reason.
|
|
He
|
|
seems
|
|
to
|
|
thrive
|
|
when
|
|
so
|
|
few
|
|
survive,
|
|
then
|
|
Goddamnit
|
|
I'm
|
|
willing
|
|
to
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.
|
|
(Wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.)
|
|
I'm
|
|
willing
|
|
to
|
|
wait
|
|
for
|
|
it.
|
|
Life
|
|
doesn't
|
|
discriminate
|
|
between
|
|
the
|
|
sinners
|
|
and
|
|
the
|
|
saints,
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
and
|
|
it
|
|
takes
|
|
(And
|
|
we
|
|
keep
|
|
living
|
|
anyway)
|
|
We
|
|
rise
|
|
(And
|

we

fall.)
|
|
We
|
|
fall
|
|
(And
|

we

break.)
|
|
(And

we

make

our

mistakes.)
|
|
And
|
|
if
|
|
there's
|
|
a
|
|
reason
|
|
I'm
|
|
still
|
|
alive
|
|
When
|
|
so
|
|
many
|
|
have
|
|
died.
|
|
Then
|
|
I'm
|
|
willin'
|
|
to-
|
|
Wait
|
|
for
|
|
it
|
|
(Wait

it,
|
|
wait

it.)
|
|
Wait
|
|
for
|
|
it
|
|
(Wait

it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for

it.)
|
|
(Wait
|
|
for

it,
|
|
wait
|
|
for

it,
|
|
wait

for

wait

for

it.)
|
|
(Wait.)

I was typing WILLING so many times and it just wasn't working!
Also it needs way more time
