Still Got Blues

Play Blues guitar and sing. Let go of a broken heart

Fourteen years later, I am still dreaming about my ex-wife. Now it is 2010. I have tried to let it go so many times. Now, I live life like a walking scare crow; a man made of straw without a heart. when I pick up the Blues guitar and sing, of a broken heart.

In a dream, I was singing to her Broadway songs and words she loved. She was singing back to me in this street, witch, lyric attitude. Every time I sang a melody in a sweet metaphor with words saying how much I loved her, she would sing back to me in an evil I dont love you street attitude. She won every time. It was a nightmare. I asked myself, how could she have once been so kind and loving? In the beginning, she looked in my eyes and they spoke.

I got so wound up in the dream I exploded, blew up, and jumped out of bed.
Literally, out of bed I jumped, weeping and sobbing. I ran for the light. I looked to the phone to see who I could call. The repressed hurt hurt took me over. I went mad. The madness took me over like a snake inside of me. B,L,U,E,S Blues.

The blues has got my tail and it is swinging me around. It's like a little boy after school with other schoolmates laughing at me, each of them taking a turn grabbing my tail and swinging me around in the alley. When they are finished, and bored, they drop kick me and go home.

Many people that have a broken heart is something that may not be fully recognized fully at first. You slowly deal with it, but it takes time for an emotional or physical loss to be fully acknowledged.

Well I have repressed it so much. The therapist said, no phone calls, no contact. Throw out the dress. I did what he said. I say Doc. listen here. It has been many years. The only thing that helps is when I play the blues guitar, to let go of my broken heart.

I know there is a lot of men and woman who go through the same thing. I am not the only one. I went to a therapy group to help release the pain I was feeling. But, I don't want to sit in a room of 37 people with everyone talking about their broken heart. When it was my turn to talk I said. "Try sleeping with a broken heart. I play the blues guitar to let go of my broken heart." Then, at the end, we all drink coffee and have a piece of cake. I never went back.

It's the blues. It can get you. It got me. You can feel it in your bones. The marrow of your bones becomes sick with hurtin', blues so deep. You can't transplant that marrow. I got anemia of the heart. You think you are done with it after all these years, you wash your hand and say I am moving on.Then, out of the blue, a car makes a right turn not obeying the lights and side swipes you, and puts you in a spin.

For many people with a broken heart, the surface slowly gets better, but your blues guitar recognizes deep.

I don't know what I would do without my blues guitar. "Tree" I call it. You testify with the blues you sing, and try to say words that have no home for.

Living my life with the blues. I tell you, the blues has got to be bad if the dream of your love makes you jump out of bed in the dark of the night. Alone, with nowhere to go, and no one there you can tell, you sit alone sobbing.

The more you sing the blues, play the blues, the better you get. Better than a prescription or the bottle.
