I Sit Here and Write the Blues

It's a sad love poem.

A month ago she cursed me and walked out the door,

Yet it feels as if she’s been gone for many years.

Now that our relationship is over, I love her more.

And thinking about her brings me so much pain.

Why didn’t I show appreciation for her love and kindness?

 

She took all the photographs of her from the album.

And every night since she left I sit here and write the blues.

I’m not ashamed to say how much I miss her.

It saddens me when I imagine her with another man.

And that’s the worst thing I’m going through.

 

Pay attention to my words all you lonely exes out there.

I’m writing this melancholy poem for you and me.

No matter how good your love affair is going,

It can end suddenly and shatter your poor heart.

And you’ll undoubtedly experience the blues.

 

I sincerely wish I could get back the woman I love.

Nothing hurts like love when you’ve lost it.

I believe in sympathy, forgiveness, and reconciliation.

Give and take and we’ll have less heartbreak.

If you break up, kiss and make up for the sake of love.

Let's have the blues again, please.
