Where is my passion?
I used to write as if
I breathed poetry
but now it seems
I have smothered
the very thing that
made me feel alive.
Now I cry quietly;
the words to my tears
fall in withered silence.
The inkwells
of inspiration
have since dried up.
I can’t imagine
life anymore
without the flow;
I need a muse
to voice the sobs
of a broken heart.
But is there anything
left to say that
I haven’t said before
countless times
in different ways?
Oh that I could
find the words
to make this wound
stop bleeding,
to fill this hole
in my heart.
Where is my passion?
Buried deep
with all my hope.
