UnNamed Blues
I've been going through my poetry files lately, looking for anything that still looks worthwhile. I've found some that I still like, though a few of them read almost like they were written by somebody else (In a way I suppose they were). I've found many more that have good bits in them surrounded by crap. Those are the one's I'm setting aside to try and rewrite/rework and hopefully salvage. Below is something I found that I had forgotten about. Its one of the few that I like just as it is. I'm not sure when it was written, but it was likely my first attempt at a traditional blues type lyric. I do know that it was written deeply under the influence of the Complete Recordings of Robert Johnson, who I can still hear singing it.
I can't see or feel youTopic: Song Lyrics
You've fallen from my touch
I can't see or feel you
And You've fallen from my touch
I'd give up right now
If I didn't love you so damn much..
I reach out for you
But your hand isn't there
I reach out for you
But your hand just isn't there
Oh, God almighty, tell me
Why is life so unfair?
I can't live without you
I'd be stupid to even try
I can't live without you
I'd be stupid to even try
And if I don't see you soon
I'm afraid I just might die..
