I stand with a heavy heart,
at the sacred place,
where I met you,
and a year later kissed joyfully.
But I am here with a heavy heart,
for I know, that you,
my love, have left me,
and are never coming back.
The moon shines down,
and I gaze at the sparkling waters,
of our special place,
called Lover's Waterfall.
Its waters rush down,
over the towering rock.
Down they flow,
into the river.
Overcome with grief,
I jump into the waterfall.
I let its roaring waters,
douse my sorrow.
It drowns my tears,
and seems to wash away,
my emotions of sadness.
It quenches and refreshes me.
I slowly climb out,
shivering all the while,
and I gaze into the moonlight,
and I can see your face.
You, my former lover,
have abandoned me.
I look at Lover's Waterfall one last time,
and I leave, never to come back.
Author notes
This was an idea I came up with just a second ago, when I was thinking of something I saw on this cartoon show called "All Grown Up." Yeah, I know. Funny place from which to get inspiration! 
Anyway, there is no such place as Lover's Waterfall to my knowledge.

Ey ey ey. Evan! This is superb!!!Its so calm and relaxing, sad and loving.Depressing and satisfying. Exc... You are an amazing writer. The only thing I thought at first I would change is all The commas, I thought they were unessasary, But reading it again, it gives it a slower deeper read. I liked this alot, and I racked up when I read your insperation
