Once more it's happened
My heart is dust under anothers heel
my inspiration, my muse
is the agony i feel

hosestly i hope this is the last time
my pen will touch a blank page
to form a heartbreak forged rhyme
my beast let out of it's cage

so we said our goodbyes
and you went on your way
and i saw it raging in your eyes
there was much more you were longing to say

i sat alone that night
staring at your photograph
wondering if i could ever again be alright
if i would know again what it's like to laugh

i heard a pen call to me
and saw pure white paper waiting to be defiled
i piked up the pen and set the words free
to tall a tale of a another death of my inner child

the words spew forth untamed
a jumble of devilish thoughts
from the chaos of my brain
as my stomach ties itself in knots

once more i'm doing it
following the signs
as i grab my pen from where it sits
god i hope this is the last time

Agony is a terribly difficult muse...
A good write.

I suggest using the spell checker

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Shane~
It is often in the tearful time
that we touch the pen in seek of rhyme
Knowing that the release in form of emote
is found in the words that we wrote~

May you find some joyful ink in your heart~
