His presence is a masterpiece

There are people whose existence is meaning, their every move is a masterpiece, they don't need any works, they are works themselves. And the people around him, the so-called "creators", just transformed his existence into a form.

He doesn't need any work, someone will do all the great things for him and write it respectfully in front of the work: for him, for the only one in my life. He is the source of my inspiration and the muse of my creations. The days he was in my life were pieces that were forever nailed to my body, and that time was a part of my body. He didn't just live in my memory, he changed me forever. I would do anything for him.

There are many creators, but not many "hes", and some of those creators have been carved into greatness, and some of them are just mediocre.

Would Allen be such a poet without him?

Each of us has him in our lives, maybe not as strong as Allen's, but these fragments will also be like knives, cutting open the body, forcibly merging with flesh and blood, and becoming an inseparable part of life. And they don't have to do anything, they just sit back and enjoy because we're willing to be emotional slaves for him.

Don't we have any selfishness? Don't we know he is our muse? We just let ourselves sink, everything is inspired, and we are selfish. For our "great" inspiration, we have to be hurt so that we don't forget him for the rest of our lives, every time we think of him, the grief in our bones begins to whine, so that masterpieces can be born.

No matter who gets us in the future, these people won't get all of us, because the fragments of him will always remain in my body, even if I can't even kiss his shadow, even if I can remember years later It's just a trace of his hair on my palm a few years ago.

In fact, none of these matters. For creators, any experience is not bad. As long as the body and mind are still there, they can create. I don't care who got him in the end, I just remember him who stabbed in my body, he was fascinated by every move, he belongs to me, and no one can take him away.
