     For anyone who cares, very word of this is true.  ...I just don't know how to explain it, but this is why I haven't been writing.

Words fly endless inside my head
No start no end, they don’t fit
Can’t string them together in a thread
I can’t express myself, I want to quit

In love and death, I cannot feel
The love of my life, can’t make me reel
To anyone and all I must conceal
Because it’s far too painful to reveal

After all that will and has transpired
I feel sorrowful, and deathly tired
No words, no LIFE nor ideas acquired
No matter what the life, I’m not inspired

Now I live with hallow eyes
I grasp at other people’s cries
The meaning of this great demise
Is too much, I never said my good-byes

I cannot write what I want to tell
Emotions are gone, without farewell
Inspired only, by my own personal hell

Now I sit an empty shell
Staring vacantly ahead
I haven’t landed now that I’ve fell
My soul is dead


No angels in heaven nor demons below the sea, could ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee

Do you know how many unfinished poem I have, where I wrote half, and couldnt figure out how to say the rest.  Maybe one day, Ill string them all together and make a "poem".  LOL.  Great poem though, I guess your writers block is over.

My tears roll right down my cheeks, but they all soak into my pillow.  I feel kinda sorry for it...

I completely get what you're saying here, Bryan.  I just got over a major dose of writer's block myself.  It's great to see you back!
Oh and I liked the rhyme scheme!

     Well, its not just writer's block, it's deeper than that.  Also, I don't take pride in anything, I don't find joy in anything, I don't find sadness in anything.  The only emotion I feel is anger when I'm feeling anything.  And I have words, words come to me as clearly as any other time, but....I just can't write about something.  Not poetry.  I don't know, I'm sure it'll work out in the end, but thanks for the replies!  Oh! And I will be posting more within a coule days :-)

Elven......I went through a full year of being a cold hearted guy. No feelings. I couldn't care about anything or anyone and it was horrible.
I enjoyed the poem though and I hope all goes well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
