When I need them oh so badly

Here's to playing tug of war with my vocal chords

Maybe I can give this another

shot or sing about a broken heart

Or imitate the way it feels 

If this was happening for real

This distance seems closer

When you shove it in my face

This moment has left me with nothing else to say

I'm losing my interest with these empty pages

They're torn they have frayed edges

This dusty book

It bothers by my rusty eye 

And I can't see and I can't breathe

Put me on the next page outta here

To live forever on this paper

Capture this void and fill it with 

The frenzy in my voice

Killing time by drawing face 

That stare back at me from the margins

In a sea of eight and a half by elevens

I'm drowning in

Treading through run on sentences

And sinking into empty text

I'll swallow the salt

And spit a few dry words out

No matter what I say 

No matter what I write here 

I'm sick of always

Lookin' at this page with a blank stare

You never seem to know 

And they never seem to tell you

As you might want them to

Throw these pages into fire 

And throw me with them.
