My muse

 

My muse, I need you.

When I'm alone and confused,

or I’m worried

about the state

of the world

I see on the news,

seeing you smile,

even just the briefest smile

raises my heartbeat,

and I know I'll be

alright for a while.

 

My muse, you know, don't you?

I’ve seen it in your eyes,

you've seen through my mask.

You've seen that I'm petrified of life,

but you've seen deeper than that,

you know I'm mad about the heart

that I'm not sure beats back.

You know that inside

sits a love that burns bright,

but outside it just hides

only seen sometimes

as a twinkle behind my eyes.

 

My muse,

you've been watching my story.

You've seen me rise

from the bottom of a pit,

climbing high

to reach the summit,

but I still can't submit my heart

without knowing

that it won't get torn apart

along the scar lines

of past times

it's been ripped in half.

 

My muse, you know

you are in my head

every day from waking

until I fall asleep in bed,

and even then

you enter my

dreams most nights.

You know all of this

because you make my pen write.

So you know the thoughts that lie

behind every word

I scribble in the margins

of a torn page of poetry.
