The Man On Stage - Andy Shauf

I am not a poet, I’m a broken heart

And though you didn’t dispute it, I don’t really play the part.

I am not dishonest, I’m a lost detail

Leaving out the good words to hide my trail.

I am not singing this to comfort you

Though my words aren’t daggers, I’m just telling the truth

That I am not a poet, I’m a broken heart

And though you didn’t dispute it, I don’t really play the part.

I am not a poet, I’m a broken heart.
