Amy

Your flick of eyeliner, Tattoo's and beehive A bit of rock and roll, something of Jazz or Jive. Your authentic words ingrained in our memory Listening to the beats, tapping along to the melody. The sultry, smokiness the range of your voice, We're right there with you the moment you soar. As you up the rhythm taking us on a Nostalgic, Jazz filled ride. When we saw how they hounded you We felt that knock to your pride. Your determination, uniqueness and drive Inspired us women, Man you did shine. Watched you grasp onto the feeling's to help release a little pressure. Inhale the love before it became a bit lesser. Back to Black when he went back to her. You sang us through the hurt, Coming down from the high. We sang along with you, We heard your heart sigh. Walking around a little shattered and broken A hole in your heart, alone and unspoken Clutching to something to fill the void Is it a hunger, a lack of nurturing and care. When we need it the most hope somebody is there. 10/07/2021 contest- What makes you sigh. sponsored by Chantelle Anne Cooke
