His Muse by Rakyra Lockhart

He was in search of a muse and I was alluring
Like gold in human form, how can you not be enthralled?
He was very decisive,
never confused
I had trouble determining if this was anew,
but I knew at first glance
it would be a passion that gets abused.
We were sun in the light.
We glowed like fire at night.
The addiction was so strong; I could have ruined his life
Love at first site
I was his inspiration all night
When I tried to leave unnoticed
he recreated the time:

In search of a muse
He came across me
and was instantly confused
He knew from the beginning
poison ensued.
