My Muse

You’re the one

I could never give up

You’re the one

I always chose

Over everyone

Including me

Self-abandoning

When I lose you

It’s always tough

Makes me crack open

Like a hard hollow nut

My identity my soul

All empty all alone

I learned my lesson

Your love is not true

It changes like the seasons

It’s red then it’s blue

I wish I could hold you

Forever be still

But you melt like a popsicle

Leaving only the stick

I think I’ll love you forever

I think I’ll love you always

But you can’t be trusted

You’re a thorn with no petals

And I’m tired of bleeding

Trying to hold onto you
