#erasing
A jumbled desk, full of books, papers and tears, A clustered focus, ample with elusive echoes. A trembling grasp, on the tool of writing, A state of puzzled feelings, of fear and joy. An endless order, of pondering and erasing, An obsession of refinement is taking over. A feeble attempt, at linking chapters, A tiny butterfly is playing rock, paper, scissors inside, and clotting the scribe.

A Scribe’s Scuffle
Today you turned up washed, Almost if a wave passed through the sheets of your bed. Your hair is a mess, As you etch a careful drawing in pen. Careful to not miss a mark, There's no erasing it, Or anything you've done.

No Erasing It
A wound is tender, in our hearts, yonder. Wishing I have magic, to erase you-- you're nostalgic.

NOSTALGIC
i've done everything to forget you to hate you to unlove you i did it all just to erase you from my mind from my heart from my soul only then did i realize that it was unnecessary to do that because you were a part of me and that meant that i was erasing 'me' too

you = me
Writer’s block has hit me once again. Ideas fallen through, glass half empty, metaphors worthless, rhymes are hopeless. Every word written has been erased. A blank mind continues at this pace. Sluggish reading, unbelieving, downward progress, I’m voiceless.

Writer's Block
I long for the day. I can wake up. Without longing for you. Please. I can't take anymore. Mornings with tears in my eyes. Because. I couldn't roll over and look at yours. Looking into mine. Leave my memories. A.F.
