Listen to poem:
Shattered Chorus
In the dimly lit room, an expensive haze
A lone lampshade casts a melancholy gaze.
Its weary glow illuminates the despair.
As the blues bear hold, filling the air.
A shattered heart's anthem, a soulful refrain,
Echoes through the room, causing hearts to strain.
The notes of sorrow dance in the smokey haze.
Tales of lost love and shattered dreams blaze.
Each strum of the guitar, each mournful chord
Tells the story of a love that's been ignored.
The singer's voice, raspy and bruised
Carries the weight of the blues.
In the spotlight's glare, he stands alone.
His heartache was exposed, and his pain clearly shown.
The audience, captured by his raw emotion,
Sinks deeper into the blues' devotion.
The rhythm pulses such as heartbeat ache.
As the lyrics weave a tale of love's mistake.
The room becomes a sanctuary of despair.
Where broken souls find solace in the air.
The expensive drinks flow such as tears.
As the crowd drowns their sorrows, numbing their fears.
But the lampshade knows the truth they seek.
That the blues won't fade, no matter how they speak.
