The Joke

The whole world laughs at me. 
It says, ‘Look at that woman, 
Playing the fool, 
Shedding tears over one who 
Is oblivious they are being shed. 
What is the point of that? 
Why pay for something when 
You will never receive the goods?’ 

But my tears, they keep falling. 
And the world, it keeps on laughing. 
And my beloved? 
He hasn’t even heard the joke.
