A lot of people say this poem sounds more like a song. I suppose it does have a refrain. I will probably write some music to it eventually. if i do i will let you know!


By: Matthew Kram

I’ve seen you angry
I’ve seen you sad
To see the way
He makes you cry
Hurts my heart so bad

I’ve been around a time or two
And I know the drill
These feelings buried
Deep inside
Are just too hard
To kill

You want to let go
But you just
Don’t know how
You’ve never felt so alone
As you’re felling right now
You can

Cry me a river
And I’ll build a bridge
And I’ll help you across
These troubled waters
Between me and you
Cry me a river
And I’ll help you forget
About the way that
He cheated on you
And treated you like shit

I’ll make you laugh
We’ll have some fun
I still believe that
You’re the one
Who makes me feel
Alive again
I wish we could be
More than friends
I never want
This feeling to end
When you

Cry me a river
I’ll build you a bridge
And I’ll help you across
These troubled waters
Between me and you
Cry me a river
When you need
Someone to hold
And help you forget the way
He left you out here
In the cold

There’s just one thing
I want you to know
You’re never really
All alone
These two things
I offer you:
My shoulder
When you need
Somewhere to cry
And my heart
When you need
Somewhere to hide
I’ll always be here
By your side.
