Odes to the Same Old Muse
It’s in the tremble of your voice as
You lean on me and the sweet
Tears trickle down from your eyes
It’s in the way you try to stifle
Your cries as if I can’t feel them
Coming in waves throughout your body
It’s in that final moment when we’re
Done and you’re “so sorry” but
This is uttered with meaning this time
It’s in the core of me - that feeling of
Knowing this is a sign and within
Moments we’re both ending and beginning
It’s in the way we hold onto each other and
Our worlds are both spinning because
This will be the “last” but we’ve said it all before
It’s in the time that we’ve taken to get here, for
This moment of rapport and soul spilling
It’s the first time we’re really seeing each other
It’s seeing through the walls we both insist on
Building to keep another out as we’re
So very afraid of really letting people in
It’s the knowing that you’ve shown me you and
I’ve let you see more than just my skin
You’ve felt my body and melted with my mind
I’ve lost where you end and where I begin.
Author's Notes/Comments:
I'm incredibly new to poetry so keep that in mind while you read 
This poem comes out of a memory from not so long ago. The last line is adapted from a part of a song called 'Basic Space' by The xx (I recommend you listen), and I had this line in mind while writing as it really resonated with me (and essentially inspired the whole thing).
