For Michael Jackson -"I Can't See Your Face" - An original song by Caroline Feather

This is the first song of my own Ive uploaded on here. I was SO devastated by the death of Michael Jackson that I almost immediatley had to write down my thoughts & describe what I was feeling in a poem.
-I've always done that when distressed, more so when I was in my teens and my emotions were all over the place. Just had to get the craziness on paper and then from this a poem would evolve and tell it's true story.

Anway, I was MUCH more creative back then (probably because I was much more emotionally labile and highly strung!)
But the urge came to write a song TO him, not FOR him, because I needed to tell him this stuff ya see. I was annoyed at him also because of the bloody drugs thing... Never thought he'd go this way.
Anyway. this is to Michael. He'd better be listening!

"I can't see your face"

I cant, I cant believe it
I wont believe you're gone
Just how am I supposed to deal with
Something so damn wrong

How am I to talk to you
If I cant hear your voice
I dont know how to pick your words out
Through this harsh white noise

(Chorus)
Can you tell me where you are?
Cos I cant see your face
Im holding on but lost your signal
Nothing left, no trace

I dont think I can do this
And I dont know what to do
I cannot stop the screaming
And the why now and why you

Is there nothing left?
And did you have to go?
I cant do this without you
I cant do this alone

(Chorus)

Maybe I can do this
But Im not sure what to do
Im gonna hush the screaming
And try to talk to you

Maybe there is something left
Perhaps you didnt go
Im scared cos I cant see your face
Im lost cos I dont know

(Chorus)

I thought I saw a glimpse of you
A shadow moving by
A vision or a memory
An imprint on my mind

I thought I heard you softly say
That you are not alone
Upon the wind I hear you whisper
You are going home

Can you tell me where you are?
Cos I cant see your face
Im holding on but lost your signal
Nothing left, no trace
