I received this poem from Cristy Ramirez just this morning. In her e-mail with the poem she said it was written this past Valentine's Day (02/14/01) and humorously added : "Guess I was feeling like a Grinch. lol" - poetheart 08/17/01
Sing me the blues, Baby. . .
Make the tune rhyme nice and sweet.
Say how much I hurt you, Baby
And how you feel so incomplete.
Sing of all you shared.
Hum about how I took everything.
Say how much I meant to you,
Moan about how I gave nothing.
Play your music, Baby
Give it a melody of your own.
Sing about how much you loved me, Baby
And how you miss me 'cause I'm gone.
Sing those blues, Baby
Sing them with all you feel.
Maybe even cry a little, Baby
So I know what you're singin is real.
Sing about our lives together, Baby
All the things we could have had.
Make sure to sing the chorus, Baby
About all the things I did that were bad.
Sing me the blues, Baby. . .
About how much you want and need me there.
I'll listen to your blues, Baby
And then I'll pretend that I care.
