They wrote it all down

They wrote it all down

A Poem by EmpressPoetess

Old Man River’s laughing at me
making fun of my misery

I didn’t know the calamity
That losing you would bring me

The Moon said I’d be lonely
Without you, my one and only

The Stars said I’d cry a river too
And fill the lake with tears of blue

But I said, hey, what do they know?
But I knew when I watched you go

Now I taste my own tears of misery
Knowing what a fool I am to set you free

But without you I’m really not free
But a prisoner by my own perfidy

They wrote it all down, what I’ve done
Somewhere between clouds and sun

Wow! This is quite the here, such wonderful flow of words too.
Expressions of sadness ripple throughout this
Very well expressed.
