It has been a long time

It has been so long since my pen has touched paper

It has been so long since my feelings have danced on sheets of paper

It has been so long since I have written about you

Since my thoughts have been intoxicated by your being

I remember when you were my only inspiration

My reason for living

When my heart fluttered at the mere sight of you

Those days have long been gone

They left with you

When you left I could not write

I could not create

You left me hollow

Inside and out

A shell

I have erased your name from my heart

Off my mind

My wounds have scabbed over

My stitches have been removed

My heart is picking up its pieces, one by one

So when my pen hits the paper it glides endlessly,

Like before I met you

The flame is gone

The sparkle is gone

The fireworks have been hushed

Nothing is left

Except emptiness

And words that need to be written.
