Blues

Blues suffused with rhythm
Born from pangs of regret
Bound with longing and need
Bass guitar slowly strummed
B.B. King's sad lament
Bittersweet love gone wrong
Broken heart;  mournful soul

Yours was the first one I've read that honored the Blues, and you nailed it Jenna. BB King was the perfect name to drop for this art form that has also spawned so many other forms of music. You got down to the soul of it "Broken heart; mournful soul". Congrats on your #1, I'm happy for you.
