Inspiration has been lacking.
All excitement’s nonexistent.
Screaming silence is attacking
me. And, boy, is it persistent.

Every wall’s splattered with empty,
Every window’s seeping darkness.
This bed’s consumed with lonely,
And this body’s feeling heartless.

The seeping and the silence are not much comfort for a heart that aches.

I like this very much, it's raw and deeply felt.

You really conveyed your feelings in a raw
& vulnerable way. I liked this alot. Im
sorry your feeling this way, please keep your chin up.

Nice write,
After a few hundred lonely nights
they get easier to accept.
Personal experience.
