nothing to say

i stare at white space and wait

for something to fill it

there's nothing to say

as the thoughts

of each day

fever my head and boil over

but none scar this space

there's just nothing to say

my fickle love affair with words

hold them dear and

they ravage me

scream ecstasy soundless into this space

then they

flee

nothing to say

about everything churning inside

of me

nothing to write

this space will stay

white
