Brian Davey Poet Rhyme

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...
