A BLUESY NIGHT

It was a bluesy kind of night

Internal pressure's building

The dam's about to break

She can't hold it, any longer

She's begun to rumble, quake

She tried to give him a warning

She tried to let him know

But he never stopped to listen

And now she's going to blow

He didn't see the pressure building

Or see the anger in her eyes

He didn't see the outward signs

Until it was too late to realize

It all started as a trickle

But now, there's no turning back

Her emotions spewed, ruptured

Into a sudden volcanic attack

It was a bluesy kind of night

She split wide open, falling apart

He never saw it coming

He didn't listen to her heart

He felt the blast of her anger

There was nothing he could do

But let her angst and fury flow

Until she decided she was through 

Now, he pays attention

He looks for the signs in her eyes

He's become much more attentive

And he holds her when she cries
