My Dear Muse
#WritcoPoemPrompt104
When are my musings about you going to come to an end? When will my longing for you be fulfilled? You have no idea how much this bothers me. Share your thoughts by composing a poem about it.

The Poem :
My dear muse,
As they say,
“You’ll never die when an artist falls in love with you.”
It’s true—
I can’t stop creating art inspired by you.

There will be no end to this,
Not even in another universe.
My heart cries out your name,
Silently.

My dear muse,
When you read or look at my art,
You’ll see yourself through my eyes:
How my emotions fill the canvas,
How heartfelt each poem is.

You don’t even know I exist.
No matter how much I create,
I remain anonymous in your world,
Basking in the dark.
It bothers me so much.

My dear muse,
Will you ever look my way?
Will I ever feel the warmth of your love?
Please—I plead,
Kneeling, my knees buckled.

You are my inspiration,
My object of desire.
How could I forget you?
When you keep running through my mind,
Whispering to me in the night.
What a fool I am,
To fall for someone who will never—
Could never—
Feel the same for me.
