You used to be every line

Every rhyme. Ever space in between

every character stamped into white print

and there was never enough space to describe

how many feelings and thoughts I had for you.

but I don’t want to write for you anymore

I've run out of words to make you a fairy tale

And with each poem you fade away

Like the ever receding minutes we have together

slowly growing less

And you lose that lovely appeal I was drawn to before.

I've run out of words to describe you.

You are no more similes then I've made

And no more metaphors then before

You’ve given me writers block because I don’t love you anymore.

And I don’t want to write about you anymore. I don’t write about you anymore

I don’t waste my mind

And stretch for rhymes

No more characters to describe the soft voice you used to have

That now scratches like an old record

I hear the same things and its just not as good anymore.

I don’t want to write about you anymore

This is the last poem ill ever write about you

But the last line ill ever say about you is

My words for you were always lovely.
