Let You Down

Poem Commentary

Well actually this is a song I wrote for my friend's band and they're all guys so its written from a dude's point of view... anyways. Its kind of incomplete I think but whatever.

Let You Down

When I get up in the morning

And I look around

Staring at my own reflection

I don’t make a sound

I know what I see

Its obviously

The sorry man that let you down

And there he goes

 

Tripping over my own two feet

Counting cracks in the concrete

Nothing has been the same here

Your footprints will remain here

And I’ve been going insane, dear

Since the day you went away

Why is it that

So much can go wrong

Even when I’m

Trying to be strong

And now I’m wondering

Wondering

If there is something

Something wrong with me


When I look at that old picture

And I see your face

You could have had it better but

I’m such a disgrace

You know it was me

I didn’t wanna be

The sorry man that let you down


How is it that

You could be so gone

When I was the

One you would lean on

And now I’m wondering

Wondering

If there is something

Something wrong with me

I hear a melody and possible song in this. I enjoyed reading it. I would love to hear it to music..

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
