I Can't Write

I can't write
nothing seems
inspirational anymore
there is only
sadness left
there are few smiles
and moments
that seem to light me up
like they used to
nothing is happy
its just a feeling
of dread
of what might happen
next
I can't write anymore
each word seems
meaningless
like it will never
make a difference
in peoples lives
so I've disappeared
in the world
if isolation
and being
alone
I used to be able
to write
about the smallest pieces
of joy 
but now
nothing is left.

  • Thoughts after the fair

    I’ve never enjoyed the feeling of being sick to your stomach on a fair ride. Maybe I just don’t have the iron-willed intestines that all of my friends seem to have, because I get sick from going on the teacups at a normal speed.

  • october, my love

    october,
    my love,
    it is good to see you once again.

    although it appears i have missed
    your grand entrance,
    while i left the room.

    i walked along the street to visit you,
    and looked up,
  • scratches

    skin pulled taut and tight
    burning like the light
    that seeps through cracks
    underneath the door

    from stray branches and walking
    throughout the woods, balking
    at the idea
    of no path

    water rests on skin
