Dear muse
I write this hoping that it never finds you
All the thoughts that leak out of my head are of no concern to you now
I draw your figure, still so innocent
But we both know that hell is deep and we are still cold
From the razing of that winter
I never thought I'd see the sun again
I'm still indifferent
Still detached from all that we had known
The bite in the frost
I'll be much better when you go
Please
Please forgive my lack of emotion
I'm lost in this ocean of dissonance
I followed the footsteps you left
And they led me here
To this place of disruption
The chaos of motion
Chasms of anger that swallow the hopeless
Oh god
What will be left within the remnants of this body
What will be left besides the wreckage of your wake
And my gaze grows distant
As the blanks take space in my head
Creating empty space from the recycled things we said
My gaze grows distant
As the blanks take space in my head
Creating empty space from the recycled things we said
Dear muse
I gathered all your writings
Fed them to the sea below that house where we used to live
I stood chest deep in the water
Ripping out the stilts until it all caved in
I saw your reflection, your essence, it hangs in the stagnant air
Your presence is endless
And I am fucking helpless to escape
Escape from this trance that is clouding my vision
Nothing will remain in wake of this wreckage
Nothing will remain
Nothing will remain
My
Muse
Just
Set
Me
Free
