Mumbled Silence

Where are all the birds?
I need something to show me
that I'm not Alone.
This water is so still, it feels cold
on my toes.

Listening to the sound of my own loneliness,
It's just me, and the silence of this lake
hidden in the mountains.

These movies are getting old,
watching them all alone.
over
and over

and over
and over again.
These books won't keep me awake.

I can't write.
I can't sing.
I can't play guitar.
I can't write a god damn song.
My inspiration IS gone, and my heart is empty.
There isn't any love, and there isn't any hate,
there isn't any pain.
My emotions are gone,
and I'm feeling
numb.
