Muse

Infinitely I long for Someone to write a song for. Dismally I claim to be Content with being lonely. Pitifully I fake my glee While my sorrow wallows slyly. Regretfully the truth is: I think I have lost my bliss. But how, I pray, does one retrieve, Thoughts they now cannot believe? How can I regain my joy, If my heart is not employed? How can I avoid the noose If I've lost my only muse?

Hi! I love your poem and its expressiveness. I just joined this website to find a poem to set to music, and I think this one is perfect. Do you mind if I use it? I'm not planning on publishing the music (I probably won't even finish it) but it's just something I would like to do for fun. Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi, that's alright buy only if you show me when it's done! I write a lot of these with the intent to make them into songs so I'm excited to hear how it turns out!
