Goodbye Poetry

Oh poetry, why do you not feel me. I was once your poetic percolate, the assonance to your consonance, spilling in silver ink, upon Earth's raw fibres, but in your quest for perfection, wanderlust words are now waterless roots, resembling a mediocre muse, cursed from rose tinted glares, exposing pages of bad grammar. Since the feather in my quill set adrift with fireflies in the wind, conflicting choruses echo in an acoustic refrain. In this musical merry go around - I'm only composed as a last thought. In chapters of contemplation, wondering if you feel the art of my heart; I ponder if I am a vacant vowel in your 'why?' An unexplained myth.. A rhythm not seen in your rhymes or do questions only bring bitterness? But without the reason for answers, will there be anything left to express? I'm just an empty cartridge abandoned from your fountain pen. Now only aches and angst alliterate, as invisible ink slowly dissolves. I'll forever be an unfinished masterpiece. A long forgotten poem. An anagram of listen. There is no metaphor for this grief, so I say goodbye to poetry and farewell to my muse.
