Heartbreak

The first time someone breaks your heart,
It’s bad, but it will heal.
The next time someone breaks your heart,
That’s when it breaks for real.

My woman broke my heart,
She knows she did me wrong.
She took everything I ever had,
But at least I got this song.

When my woman left me.
All I had left was tears.
I finally met my one true love,
But lost my music career.

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.) View all posts by Blind John Ellsworth
