Something doesn"t resonate
Just doesn't ring true
You can't find paper or a pen
When it visits at strange times at ungodly hours of the night
Dare you say it or write it down
Yet,it lingers
Wont"t let you go
Try creating a new metaphor or simile
You want to remember yesterday but it just isn't anymore
It is a memory you cherish but look at in photo albums
Close them and visit every now and then
Like friendships that used to be closer but have changed too
Some will never come again
Every now and then
When the words won't come

Thanks for reading
Thanks for comments
Taking a short break
Need to reevaluate where my writing is going
When a bookstore puts your books on their websites but not in their brick and mortar stores
Am I not good enough?
Maybe I really can’t write?
Not looking to lick my wounds or for you to cheer me on
Your comments are appreciated more than I can say
I may very well be back but for now you all write on
Write on?

You might not approve of the action
The words might sting and hard to believe or difficult to digest
Acceptance takes awhile
Is it worth a sleepless night?
People change for better or worse
Mourning what was is futile
Move forward and if things are meant to be or improve
So be it
If not
Keep it to yourself and Journey on

Nobody else will do
For comfort and joy
For tears and travel dreams
For laughter and love
For silence and quiet beyond compare
These are the arms I run to
Those are the arms that empathize and sympathize
In your arms is where I awaken and slumber
As your blue eyes reassure me and only in your arms
