To My Muses

Folder: 
Blah

To my muses

Who have helped me through this lifetime

Of writing bad poetry

On perfectly white sheets of paper

Cruelly adulterated by my words.



Thank you

For all the happy times we may have spent together

The smiles, and the hugs

The laughter and the joy

That made me love you so.



Thank you

For all the tears and pain

And anger you made me feel

For you made me feel

And that's more than most can say.



My muses, I thank you

For all those wonderful emotions you thrust through my body

Mind, and of course soul

That I may have thought was once attached to you

Only to find

It wasn't.



My muses, I thank you

For killing me with your words

And your actions

Where else would I find such godly inspiration

To write the words I have?



My muses, I thank you

For being in my life

Better it may have been

Without ever knowing who you were

But where would I be without you?
