Poem: Singing the Blues

I broke my heart today
Singing the blues
I broke my heart today
Thinking of you

The world is filled with grey
Only I see
The world is filled with grey
Moaning dark seas

Every word I say
Flatly falls
Every word I say
Casts a pall

Drunken, I’m a slave
Lost, alone
Drunken, I’m a slave
Eating bones

I have no way
You’re gone
I have no way
Time yawns

And so I lay
Dying
And so I lay
Sighing
