Muse, lost

How do you write with love?

Can you capture the light of your smile on paper?

Let the sparks ignite the pages into a bonfire?

✯✯✯

Squeeze the love out

Dedicate every sentence, every word

Every thought

To you

✯✯✯

Write stories for you, about you

A thousand and one stories

For a thousand and one ways I love you

✯✯✯

Paint pictures with flowers you never sent me

Write stories with words you never said to me

✯✯✯

Fifty thousand words

Fifty thousand faded attempts to capture love

✯✯✯

Ten million monkeys in a room

Have an infinity to create shakespeare

But I only had four years

And there’s only one of me

✯✯✯

Try to capture it before it’s gone

Before I’m left with my heart in my hands

Before you forget how much you loved me too

✯✯✯

But you forgot

And now I’ll write with ink made from tears

It's over but it doesn't mean it wasn't beautiful.
