Blocked By Loss

Blocked By Loss The words are all gone, their is nothing more to write The right and left sides of my brain continually fight Too many long sleepless, tired, restless nights Inflating all the wrongs, ignoring all the rights... Right here and now I struggle with paper and pen For every word that I write, I have to erase ten It took me at least a day just to get this first line in This I'm not use to, how did this happen?... I've been a thousand times more depressed, lonely, or sad Just the other day everything was fine then it all turned bad Not being able to express what I hold within is making me quite mad If only I had someone to talk to...Where the hell are you Dad?... You were always the one who corrected me and my troubled muse You made me feel so intelligent even knowing I'd lost some screws Your subtle hints all wrapped up in all of your cosmic clues Four years to the day without the one person I couldn't afford to lose... bmdavey@04/15/16

I too have lost a parent, much too young, and one never stops asking why it must be. This is heart-wrenching and many will relate to your feelings of loss. Hugs to you
