It hurts
Everything
All of me
Aches
As love
Wilts
Slowly dying
So am I

I often find
I’ve no words to say
Especially at
The end of the day
But inspiration can
Bring all kinds
Softly nudging ideas
Right into my mind
And I think about some
Who haven’t written
Two months, three days
Since the writing bug’s bitten
And let me tell you
It affects me too
All those words
They used to spew
Now they’ve just left me
Without hardly any hope
It’s the reason I often
Just wanna mope
You see…that’s what
Sadness does
Makes you miss
All that was
And yeah I know
I’m not making much sense
Thankfully dispiritedness
Isn’t an offense

I pray for random words
To fill this void in my head
But as time slowly passes
My thoughts only feel dead
Expired of emotion
So tired of the drill
Inundated with mindless efforts
Without any thrill
Is this the cost of living
For a future unknown
To sit everyday in silence
Completely alone
One day… one day…
It’ll be for the best they insist
Tell me… tell me…
Then why do I still resist?
