My Muse – You’re Back, Or Are You…

It’s been so long since I first met you,

It’s been so long since the last!

There cannot be an excuse,

Nor any recompense at all;

All that’s left is regret - deep deep regret,

And regret shall it always remain…

 I was too naïve, and willfully let you go,

I was too selfish, and left you astray,

I was so high horsed, to leave you mid-way!

Then the agony began, and continues to burn…

After such a long time, after bearing so much,

You’re still there - a tiny little speck,

In my all-burnt heart - a tiny little amber,

Glowing in spite of you,

Among the ashes of stomped hope…

You’re still there,

Giving my cold heart

Some warmth among the ruins,

Yet a speckle of love, and a hope to live…

Tried a million times to snatch you off

This filth of a heart that I called mine,

And tried to make peace with nothing that I had,

Left all and sundry what never could be mine.

You managed to cling on and stay fixed as you were,

Giving warmth when needed,

Yet burning me alive…

I’m all but charred now,

None is left of me,

I’ll keep it simple now –

Please come back to me

If I am, yet a bleeding heart,

And if there’s nothing worth,

Torch the rest of me…

OMG!!! What a relief penning it down...
