Amy Poem by Kevin East

Amy, we felt your pain
You sang it like it is
A time bomb with a fizz
- of jazz and soul.
But the demons broke your heart
Your sad love story in the chart
And the booze could not replace what they had stole.
Yet despite your Vodka 'straight'
- and the 'coke'
- They had to wait.
Your voice released an angel of the Blues
The scars they wouldn't heal
Your tragic love songs were for real
'Love is a losing game'
And Amy Winehouse wore the bruise.
So now it's 'Back to black'
Camden Town wants you back
And we'll remember you with poignancy and pain.
With you we weren't alone
And as 'Tears dry on their own'
When your voice rings out
We'll cry them all again.


(For amy... A true legend.)
