Blues Lady Poem by Angela Yarbrough

The lady who sings the blues
Told a story I knew oh so well
How heart break took her breath away
When that one love makes us fools

To walk this life’s journey
Was so tormenting to her very being
Living became a struggle
While each day treated her wrongly

The blues is what she called it
As she sang from her souls depth
Spilling her insides on the floor
While patrons look for partner
To on top of it dance with

Although we never met
She knew me inside out
Singing about my world
Understanding the way I felt
