Eddie's Song

PJGirl2004

Remember the first time we saw
Pearl Jam together?
How it spoke on "forever"?
The way it felt to hear our song?
Like it was written just for us
all along...
And now,
it is a dark nothingness
that I am falling into.
Without you.

It hurts to hear Eddie sing....
he reminds me of
all the kisses
the smiles
the laughter
the rush of adventure,
the sharing...the late night soul baring.
He reminds me of places not visited
yet...but of visions I've had.
Of you and I together,
my hand in your hand.
Walking into the future with eyes
wide
and souls free
and hopes overflowing.
Instead of treading so fearfully into
unknowing.

Remember you sang to me just once...
your tears rang through my very
existence.
I was entranced...
by the man that you were,
the hero
who appeared
just in time to rescue me.
Never
to forsake me.
It was just you and me
in a place
nobody could ever see...
facing
eternity.
So easily.
We were younger, but the same.
I know not who to blame.

Why did you stop loving me?
And when?
How can I ever hear Eddie again?
I guess...
One of the hardest obstacles
I've ever faced
is still loving the music
you have erased.

I can relate to this. When I hear the song "Up and Down and Back Again" by Powderfinger, I think of me and her at the Powderfigner concert...it was so empty...and when they started to play it...she started dancing a little...and clapping her hands, keeping time with the song...I always think of that...Thrilloilogy is my favorite Powderfinger song...we used to make the noise in the background of that song to our dog...and she would do them out of nowhere when we would be in the car or where ever...and I remember those, too. She never got into The Catherine Wheel or Pearl Jam...though she was a big Radiohead fan...now you can see why I am not. I swear...I must have listened to Smile for weeks after that. I remember one day, I was driving around, nothing special, errands or something. I was listening to an Alex Lloyd CD and Amazing came on...and I don't know why...but I just started crying. I felt like the biggest tube. Riot Act came out...and when I heard Thumbing My Way and All Or None, I felt like I wasn't so bad off...that if Eddie could feel the same way and was still around to talk about it, then I should be, too.
Sorry such a long reply...

It's a great poem. Listen to Pearl Jam. You need the music. You'll make new memories. I haven't replaced the old memories yet either, but one of these days...or so I am told.

"if you wait...I'm gonna drive it home...(carry all of this away from here)...if you wait...I'm gonna drive it Home...(Kiss you everytime the rains appear)..." -Thrilloilogy by Powderfinger
