27 and no longer
Joining the throng of those
Gone before their time.
It doesn’t hurt here
Not physically, emotionally
It’s quiet and I am finally at rest.
That voice, the hair, the eyes
The potential, the money
The drugs, the wine
Confusion!
Still a legacy remains
Of an awesome catalogue
You’ll hear me sing for years to come
Immortalised...
