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...
