For my Muse
I hope you see this. You've inspired me, but not in the way I'd hoped.
I still love you
And I hate myself for that weakness
But you shaped me, molded me,
Created this person I am today
To cut out the pieces of me
The ones that belong only to you
Would take more strength than I have
And I do not have the will
So I'll pack them back inside
Sweep up the broken mess
Patch my heart back together
Covering up the empty holes
The ones created by your leaving
Your empty promises I listened to
I'll ignore this aching in my chest
The one that beats to your name
I'll push back the memories again
The ones from so long ago, re-lived
I'll block out the hope that dawned
Like each new sunrise, a new beginning
But I will still love you
That I cannot, will not, change

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
