where are my words

I can't write

Lost my touch

Can't touch

Been through too much

So much

Left me left me lost in a gaping whirlwind

Of words and empty spaces where lights once glittered and stars littered the streets

Can't glitter or even figure out a rhythm or beat

Can't shiver a tune from the quivers of living things

There are rivers and oceans in me you'll never reach

Can't speak

Lips are frozen and numb kisses futile and anyway none

Done done done nights spread its blanket of blackness all over the cracks of this

Weary teary world

Can't write can't even write down my wishes they'll find them suspicious but I just wanna be before I die

Before the sun bleeds goodbye across the whispering sky

If I don't say anything of meaning then why am I breathing just tell me

Are you leaving are you leaving my hearts a weakening spirit so help me

I get contemplative and sensitive lately it's hard to make sense of it

Where are my words where did they go where are the answers

Where is the rest the ending of this poem

heartbreak
