Death of Words

by Wip lost the Rhythm   May 10, 2006


Theres not enough blank
for you to spill your words
vomit of humiliation
shame and regrets
sadness beyond recognition
the page is getting smaller
black ink filled every crevice
but your not done yet
there is still so much more to say
words youve never spoken loud
just whispered in ink
across your heart.
Desperation
you need more space
the walls are covered
not an inch spared
for you to place
your blood, your ink.

the words pound in your head
poetry overload- headache
scream in frustration
words are slipping fast
vanished to a forgotten
place in your heart
never recovered,
the words of your soul
leaving
gone
Dead
your scrambling with
aching, sweating fingers
to recover every word
every line
but its lost
the paper is filled
yet unfinished

    There are not enough blank {pages}
    for you to spill your words;
    vomit of humiliation
    shame and regrets,
    sadness beyond recognition
    the page is getting smaller.

    Black ink filled every crevice
    but you’re not done yet,
    there is still so much more to say
    words you’ve never spoken loud
    just whispered in ink
    across your heart.

    Desperation
    you need more space
    the walls are covered
    not an inch spared
    for you to place
    your blood, your ink.

    The words pound in your head
    poetry overload- headache
    scream in frustration
    words are slipping fast
    vanished to a forgotten
    place in your heart.

    Never recovered,
    the words of your soul
    leaving, gone, dead
    your scrambling with
    aching, sweating fingers
    to recover every word

    Every line, but its lost
    the paper is filled
    yet still unfinished

    Very imaginative, full of imagery yet to me the words are feeling hollow. I don’t know where you were going with this poem. Other then no matter how many words you throw out, none of them were the right ones, to describe the way you were feeling right? This:

    Black ink filled every crevice
    but you’re not done yet,
    there is still so much more to say
    words you’ve never spoken loud
    just whispered in ink
    across your heart.

    Is brilliant. You really do have a way with words you just need to play to your strengths a bit better. Keep it up, and keep pouring your soul into your work, it’s a different style then mine and I respect it, but at the same time it becomes a critical obstacle in editing it because I don’t know the emotions well enough. Only you do. So remember they’re all suggestions.
