Muse

During those times when I feel so down

Your soothing voice assures me everything is okay

And you lift me up, from the depths of despair

During those thunderstorms and torrential rains

Through the raging thunder and flashes of lightning

I pull you closer to me, in a comforting embrace

During those times when I need to decide

On which path to take, I imagine what you would do

The answer appears, as magically you do

During those times when I don’t know what to write

An empty white space gaping blankly at me

I think of you, and the words just flow

During those times when I cheated on you

Pushing you away not acknowledging you are there

You force your way, back into my thoughts

During those nights when I stayed awake, thinking of you

You took me to those places I’ve never seen before

And showed me a love that is so real

I always wonder why you look at me so fondly

Even when I’ve been bad, mad, sad, glad and errant

I wonder why you never cease to love

And why you didn’t desert

Even when I proved to be so unworthy

I always wonder why you care

There is no reason why

Since there is nothing I have to give

And there is nothing that you expect

But when I need you, you are always around.

My muse.

My love.
