Speech Deprived

Wishing I had the words
even when writing seems easier
I still seem to be hurdled by my fears
Failing is an option as long as I don't quit
although I never really tried

Sleeping, seems is was impossible
‘Cause even in my dreams
I am beautifully haunted
by your presence

I feel like there is nothing left to do
when all I do is feel

Crawl back
my heart starts to move
back into its hole
returning from a brief excursion to my sleeve

This isn't movement in any direction
This doesn't mean much
It's nothing at all, really

I feel like there is nothing left to do
when all I do is feel

Pointless
Questioning
Screaming
Yet I don't know what I want you to answer

I feel like there is nothing left to do
when all I do is feel
And all I can say is
I am here
Here
Hoping never to be a "was here"
