Museless

Location

Kenya

I don't understand,
I'm terribly confused,
I'm losing my hand,
Losing my muse.

There's a rock in my path,
Blocking my heart,
It's feeding my wrath.
I'm falling apart.

Where have you gone?
What did I do?
Why am I wrong,
With nothing anew?

You've taken my heart,
And taken my lines,
I'm losing my start,
And losing my rhymes.

My head meets my desk,
A loud groan escapes,
I'm experiencing unrest,
With my mind far agape.

Why did you do this?
Jostle my head,
Send me amiss,
Fill me with dread?

The one that got away,
The one that tore me down,
Laid my heart to slay,
And left me to drown.

Goodbye my muse.
Goodbye my words.
