Shrug

eyes averted, shoulders dismissive
it's hard to even write the words 
because they're not there
they're replaced with dried up husks
of excuses and simple phrases 
that don't touch the sides of the hole you're in
shrug
smile
shake your head
try to be in the moment
while sifting through days and years
stuck in your mind to accidentally find a solution
or even a word to help fill the silence
in your head as you watch the world
passing behind the shadow of whatever it is you're feeling
because without the words you're just....
shrug
smile
shake your head
and trying to fill the whole with nothing.

  1. I've not been in the blogging world at all lately and have just checked in on you and it is so good to see you still writing. I need to take some time to catch up. I'm finally feeling the need to write again - I always feel better when I do (and empty when I don't). Lots of love xxx
