Amy

You kissed the heavens

you touched the stars.

at you feet

was adoration and respect.

the music played

and we swayed

danced

we sang

and laughed.

Oh Amy,

it wasn't enough.

Oh so young,

so much to learn,

we watched,

awestruck

as you fell,

crashing,

crushed

beneath your addictions.

Oh Amy,

it wasn't enough.

A steady stream

of broken minds,

shattered souls

have preceded you,

and now...

you are gone.

the pilgrimage into the darkness,

the madness

and the illnesses

continues.

Tomorrow will see another Amy,

another Heath,

Jimi, Janis, Kurt,

oh so talented,

oh so young

Oh Amy

it just wasn't enough.
