Demise of a poem

I have thought of death many times, experienced it in my incomplete rhymes
I\'ve heard it in meter\'s missing heartbeat, felt it when a stanza was incomplete
My muse a cold mortician, left my corpse deaf and dumb creativity gone numb
Watered with tears poems unread, cried for lost lines of meaning shed
Somewhere under rubble of words I\'ve buried, poetic babies miscarried
