Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s “Annabel Lee” and “For Annie”

I wrote this a while ago

My poem based on Edgar Allan Poe’s “Annabel Lee” and “For Annie”

Tears were given to me
By his words for the beautiful Annabel Lee,
For whom he loved and whom he lost
In the kingdom by the sea.
For him she loved and by wanted to be loved
That girl, Annabel Lee.

Then I was struck asunder, right down under
For what he wrote, about his beloved Annie.
For proving me wrong, that love exists
And is vaster than quiet depthless seas.

Poe, my heart has been undone,
For every melody and song its sung,
The echo of your poetry has pierced it deep.
You’ve left it in chaos, and I do not know,
How will my mind,
Now get any sleep…
