The tired eyes reflected in the river water
let him see the reason why he was afraid;
they could see no life worth living without her
just like what the man with the violin said.
His tired ears don’t hear the songs that hold the answer;
it gets drowned out by cries for help he thinks he hears.
They remind him he never really had a chance there,
so now the reason why is crystal clear.
Tired brain puts off dealing with it one more time;
just means another piper won’t get paid.
Another poet will have forgotten what should rhyme
with what the man with the violin said.

nice rhyme, great flow 🙂
Good write. Welcome to MPS.
Hello, so nice to read, rhyming is nicely done, a smooth read.
This is a wonderful poem and I can see how it is a song as well. The refrain is great and brings a sense of emotion to this piece. The last two lines are a prefect finish to this piece.
