To The Poet
Location
I spend much of my time alone
Stopped writing as much
And why? Well I don't really know
But the familiar feeling
Ink stains on my fingertips
Silence breaking through my room
Air filled with words that rhyme
And some that don't
Balled up paper thrown all about
Some poems for my keeping, some that just needed to get out
Much of my time is spent alone
Plenty of time to write
But inspiration comes and goes
Until one day, everything becomes too much
And there's nothing left to do
Nothing to show for once the tears have dried up
And happy moments become black and white photos
Holes in walls, holes in hearts, they're the same
But there are no holes in poerty
No lies, no trust, no commitment
We sometimes forget these things
Spending most of my time alone
I've found that I've forgotten more than most people even know
My mind is not a simple and straight flow
It's on lines, in short phrases
Trying to find the perfect ending
To each thought
