Lonesome Blues As Such Poem by Terry Donovan

Another tear
falls in my beer
as I sit here
and sigh oh dear
wish you were near
I try to lose
these lonesome blues
in pints of booze
but it's no use
I've got it bad
and feel so sad
I must be mad
to pine so much
for your sweet touch
but what the hell
for you I fell in love
pell mell
how could I tell
when Cupid's dart
would pierce my heart
and start
to take control
of mind and soul
and make a goal
of loving you
the way I do
just wanting to
be courting woo
but deary me
it's not to be
I didn't see
for love is blind
and so unkind
to mortal mind
which seeks to find
a ready mate
to stimulate
and titillate
unused romance
and I'd no chance
for just one glance
was all it took
my heart was shook
it's shaking still
and always will
for you fulfil
my every dream
and it may seem
my life-long scheme
for joy and bliss
must end like this
and I'm to miss
what all men need
most have indeed
someone to share
for whom to care
who's always there
to make a pair
since Eve and Adam
most men have had 'em
so why not I
why should I cry
into my beer
while others leer
at dolly birds
and whisper words
of you know what
look eye to eye
and fawn and sigh
while love goes by
my
lonesome world
I'm left ungirled
ray joy unfurled
my heart unwound
my mate unfound
my my I'm sad
I've never had
the love I've sought
you won't be caught
you're like a fort
with moat around
and if I drowned
you wouldn't care
nor turn a hair
so my despair
I bear alone
so I'll just moan
into my glass
about the farce
of thinking you
could want me too
and I'll stay blue
my whole life through
and cry boo hoo
what else to do
you've left me numb
the future's glum
I'm just a bum
a drunken dope
bereft of hope
oh woe is me
just let me be
to prop this bar
and sink a jar
you get the gist
I'm staying pissed.
