It's going to take awhile before any inspiration comes back
Maybe all the way to hell and some time 'round,
"Cut me some slack"
I wait around my thoughts for something to arise
But it's a noise stream up there with little or no surprise
So I crunch up all the papers and hit too much backspace
Hoping that this feeling gets written, so I can finally sleep in its embrace
This writer's block is a hope killing machine
Its infamous bad timing, almost too routine
I wait in its hands till it cradles me cold,
Until something good finally comes, ready to be told.
