Broken Song

Shattered in the white sands
Like beer bottles after summer,
My muse has spit on my name
Left me crushed, ruined, used.

My words, a newspaper soaked
Ink drained away and smeared.

Ideas, a sandcastle
Swept asunder underfoot.

Songs, an ancient train
Assaulting ears with hideous whine.

Uselessly I clamor on
Seeking substitute to sublime.
Without you, love, it's over.
