"Goodbye, My Muse"

Once in a lifetime
Love so beautiful
Deeper than I’ve been
Offering your hand

Tenderness declared
At such a moment
True love that took plight
Taunting paramour

Romantics revere
Words mixed with chorus
An unleashed ardor
Far from deep slumber

Deafening silence
Words dripped by your vein
Scarcely be reckoned
A languid disguise

A transformation
Searching for the words
That others exude
Badge of infamy

I never knew pain
Until there was you
Piece by piece I lose
But you fail to see

I shall endeavor
Taking you with me
Choked on emotion
Muted lips of love

Pain becomes stronger
Still I search for you
To feel you again
Still clinging to you

Dagger through my heart
Now beyond your reach
Love losing meaning
Never to return

Forgive me my muse
You put out the flame
Ashes at your feet
My final goodbye
