Words Fade Over Time

Each time that I write
I’m swallowing tears
I cannot get beyond
Being choked by fears

I’m killing each word
Stabbing every verse
Each tear that I taste
Became my own curse

Poetry once flowing
Alike the endless sea
Words I now drown
In despair and misery

It’s there deep inside
Thoughts are sealed
Words turn to liquid
Till my heart as healed

Since you lost touch
I’ve fell into decline
Sinking to oblivion
Words fade over time

A sadly written little beauty of your words~

'I’m killing each word
Stabbing every verse
Each tear that I taste
Became my own curse'

Sounds like a horrible case of writer's block..
I've been quite low on inspiration for quite some time now myself

Hope abides (no pun intended) and if words like this flow now, just think what they'll be later on...and I'll be sure and read them too.

Ohh..

I have felt this way, but don't let the words fade, for they will hold you in the end when all else has given up. The words don't give up on us. We give up on them.

I love this!

Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since

Sometimes the words just refuse to flow, no matter how many tears are pushing at them. But the damn will eventually burst, and those rivers of thought will flow again.
