Song to Julie

David Wakeling



She was a Vulnerable Girl,
She was a glamorous Lady,
She was out of this World,
But she was my sweet baby.

We met at School,
Always on detention.
I acted the fool,
To get her attention.

We almost married,
But she wouldn’t commit,
She took drugs and nearly died,
She lived for the next hit.

She was a Vulnerable Girl,
She was a glamorous Lady,
She was out of this World,
But she was my sweet baby.

One day she called me,
She said she was drowning,
I went to see,
But I couldn’t stop frowning.

She was dead inside.
She looked so sad.
I wanted to hide,
She was driven mad.

She was a Vulnerable Girl,
She was a glamorous Lady,
She was out of this World,
But she was my sweet baby.

For a moment she smiled,
And held my hand,
We were wild,
And wasn’t it grand.

I know I treated you mean,
But I did love you so,
We created a scene,
And I had to go.

 

She was a Vulnerable Girl,
She was a glamorous Lady,
She was out of this World,
But she was my sweet baby.

    This is a sad poem of a love doomed and a life lost. So nicely worked with chorus it well could be a song. A fave David

        David, this has the feel of a tragic love ballad…young rebellion, addiction, emotional collapse, and lingering affection all woven through the repeating chorus. The refrain gives the poem a haunting emotional pull right to the end. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
