Missing Words

The words are dead
My mind wiped clean
A void in my head
This blank screen
But the words now
Have ceased to flow
I don't know how
To make them grow

Calling them out
Words in the night
End this drought
Making this right
Stare at the page
It remains clear
This barren stage
Theatre of my fear

Behind the curtain
Sealed fabric wall
Becoming certain
It hides them all
My words are there
Just locked away
Only for you I care
I'm trying to say

It's so widespread
Building up inside
This heart is dead
My words have died
Whenever I see you
My voice goes dry
Feelings so true
Can no longer deny

My mind is blank
You are my cure
I've you to thank
Your heart so pure
Everything I write
You who inspires
My guiding light
My burning desires

The make no sense
My words are lies
It's my defence
To stop the cries
There is no hope
My heart of stone
I'm trying to cope
With my life alone
In the centre of my literary drought there is an oasis - albeit a rather force falsified one at that. Where I've found the wasteland of my mind is only the tip of the iceberg it isn't just the words I write here that have gone missing - everything has gone thoughts, feelings - well the predominant one remains - but it has been damped by the growing void of numbing emptiness that is gathering.

What has also gone missing are the words I'd like to say - the ones that I utter out there in the real world, not here in this sheltered world. I have gained an unusual amount of usage out of a blank expression when I simply can't express the scraps of feeling that remain, and of course it is only directed in one futile direction
