My Muse

I have two versions of this. This one is the poem version, the second (which I will post later) is rearranged to a lyrical format.

You're the cause of my affliction,
the drug to my addiction.
Your words can get me high.
You're the paint on my canvas,
the Oz to my Kansas,
it's hard to get this right...
To me you are the breath I need, I struggle for your air
I'm drowning in your absence, I'm falling to despair
I gasp to catch a fleeting breath, a whisper from the wind
To hear your voice just one more time, I need to breathe you in
You're a sea of boundless beauty, no words can close compare
there is nothing, no, not one thing, it simply isn't fair
The beauty of the sunlight as it dances on autumn leaves,
the stars that shine or the pale moonlight that give the night reprieve,
the glisten of the snowfall, the mountains that grace the sky
the sun at set, the sun at rise, the parade of northern lights
overshadowed in comparison, paled to my view
A clever lie, a simple ruse it simply isn't true
You see these things are more to me, alive because of you
You mean all of this to me, and more than you will ever know
I will be your audience, if you will be my show
