Muse: Apologies if this isn't your usual type of letter
He was my muse
Rhythm to my rhyme
The heaven to my hell
Dark brown eyes
Bright like the morning sun
But words shape
as a two-edged knife
As my blood runs ever so dry
On the cold concrete floor
As my eyes shed one
teardrop at a time
Lips soft as a butterfly touch
To my muse that was never mine
Touch as delicate as a baby's touch
Words smooth as the lies that were told
Like sugar-coated sweets, my muse
That was never mine
It was wrong but felt so right
I was young and naive
But oh how his touch was like
the start of a wildfire burning within
My heavenly abode, my muse
That was never mine
Macaroni always goes better with cheese
To the muse that was never mine
My love for you flowed
Like the river of Jordan
To the muse that was Never Mine, Thank you
For showing me what it was like
Now as my tears dry
My love now runs dry
As my ink drys, as the pain dulls
To the muse that never mine
Thank you for the love
That was never meant to be mine
To the muse that was never mine
I prayed that someday your love will be mine
But now I never want to be loved by you
To the muse that was never mine
I hated you for the hearts that you took
But loved you for the moments that we spent
To the muse that was never mine
I pray that you have a good life
But I pray that you bleed like I once did
To the muse that was never mine
My love that was like a sip of
Cold water on a hot summer night
Now it runs cold as a winter's night
To the muse that was
never mine,
your voice once
Held the power to make my heart flutter
To the muse that was never mine
My blood runs cold by your touch
To the muse that was never mine
The ring said Forever love
But your actions say otherwise
To the muse that was never mine
My heart aches as the lies were
over and over again
To the muse that was never
mine
I dreamt of waltzing
The field of dandelions
under the starry night sky
To the muse that was never mine
I wrote stories and poems that
you will never read
To the muse that was never mine but
I wished on a shooting star that you were
To muse that was never mine
Do you regret breaking the
hearts of those that loved?
Do you enjoy seeing those
that loved in pain?
To the muse that was never mine
I hate you for making me love you
But I hate you the most for making
Into a fool
To the muse that was never mine
Did any of our moments ever
cross your mind?
To the muse that was never mine
I painted you with rose-coloured glasses
Now all I see is black and white
Wounds healed, eyes dry
Smile bright, I once dreamed
that it would always be you
To my muse, to my home
That now lies in ashes
To the muse that was once mine
how I wanted to love you,
to hold you close to kiss away
the scars that you're too scared to
show anyone else.
To show you just how much I love
And adore you,
but I already know that I can’t
even if I wanted to.
I’m too broken to ever show you,
too scared, too hurt to show
just how much I love you
To the Muse that was once
mine but never was
I don’t like pain
But yet with you
it’s like my mind is
telling me to run
but my heart says to stay
As if I didn't deserve love too.
To the muse that was once mine
But I would still wear
that ring around my neck for
a reminder to never forget.
But you will always be mine.
To the muse that was once mine but never was
I always wonder and ask why can't it be me?
Why can’t you see that I’m the one for you?
To love you and embrace you,
Is it that you're too blinded by pride?
To see the value of what's in front of you?
To the muse that was once mine
but never was
Despite all the pain that you cause me,
you're like cocaine.
I know that you're bad for my health
but every time
I hear your soft silk voice and
feel your touch against my skin.
My love for him was nothing
but a lousy joke-wrapped
in foolish play,
how stupid I was to
love a man such as him,
but yet I bled these words
out on a blank page.
He was my home
my paradise
my safe place
The only thing that kept me sane
In this maddening world but
I guess this is the price I pay
This is my KARMA
I hated it,
I hated loving him even if he hurt me,
I hated looking like a fool even so,
it’s foolish of me
To my muse that was once mine
Now all it feels like
Four corners,
four walls in a
house where peace
feels ever so foreign,
like a tourist passing by,
four walls,
four corners filled
with nothing but screams,
profanities, hostility, pain,
and trauma.
To my muse that was once mine
You were my home, but now
all I have is a glass house
I loved him dearly
but oh how
I hurt him with my words.
To the muse that was once mine
but never was
I hate you but oh how
I loved those brown glistening eyes
So to the muse that was never mine
Fuck you….for making me like this
