The Greatest Love Album Ever Written Poem by Shirley Harrison

I didn't think it was wrong of me
to have written an entire book
of incredibly sad love songs
whilst uncontrollably crying into my wine glass?

after all
a broken heart only needs
that one last sip
just enough to numb
the excruciating pain
that comes with feeling so lost
whilst giving company to my brokenness

eventually
awakening to an empty bottle
a huge hangover
and, on the floor
all the scrunched up typo's

nevertheless
leaving me with…

the greatest love album
ever written.
