Writer's Block

My thoughts are dead
Imagination shot
Blackness born within my head
No sense for a plot

Where are the words 
They used to flow
Flutter like birds
Of an ink lathered glow

Sanity stepping so close to the brink
One more inch and tears cascade
My comatose mind cannot think
My pen has decayed

But wait a second an idea just sprouted
My pen's alive and well
Then my cerebellum rerouted
I wad up my paper...I'm back in hell
