Echo (Song)

A Poem by Damien Davison

A song I wrote and performed. https://www.facebook.com/meddmusic

These days

The normal routine has changed

It's not the same

And I feel the pain

And then I

See your face on display

It can't replace

The space

That you grace had erased

Within me

Can I

Have one

More moment with a friend

Have fun

Just hold you here again

Here's to

Saying so much with out words

Now every time I wake up

I get a feeling of us

The only feeling I trust

But the feeling is busted

My emotions are rushing

No, the oceans are nothing

Your devotion was something

A pure motion of love and

I've been trying to forget

How could I go through it laying in our bed

How can I move through without crying cause your dead

Playing like a movie, memory flying through my head

I can only hear your echo

The only time I hear you say I love you anymore

It feels like she's right here, right here next to me

I wonder if she can feel me too

Can you feel me?

We always knew

But could never be prepared

Thought we'd make it through

It's our heaven in the air

We were both young

Positively in love

When we thought of this stuff

Just forget and don't care

If you were back

I'd attack the madness that lasted

A disaster

This selfish actor brought sadness

Never planned it

Handled this over a gamble

Never lasted, damn with it

Hopeless

An a*****e

But you were there to give me a lift

Alone with a broken heart you said I could fix with a kiss

I regret ever leaving you alone with our kid

Show you that I love you

I wish that I could prove it again

It's too late to say sorry

And to make up for mistakes

I'm about to break

I'm falling

Can't I say a thank you

For the greatness

Honor

Unexpected change

I wanna save this

Gotta

But all I hear is an echo

Your voice in the wind

Reappears when I let go

Tales of a life

Half a century old

Remember when she'd hide?

Then say "Where'd ya go?"

She grew up so fast

Baby girl

Where'd the time go

Where's the laughs

In a world

Without my girl

Can't outlast

But I did.

Without knowing the tune I find the lyrics confusing, especially lines like 'causing your dead'.

I've warned you that I am spectacularly unqualified to critique poetry - but I like this a lot. It seems based on genuine feeling and is not a slave to form or whatever the critical expectations of "cool people" are for the momentt. And so, not hearing the music, I would call this an accessible, enjoyable poem I hope you write many more.
