I haven't written
in quite some time
my fingertips have forgotten
how to embrace a pen
I've grown accustomed to neat pages
-jailed-
deprived from ink soaking life into their fibres
My thoughts have become alien
They clutter in my head
for days on end
'till they spill into the night -
into my dreams
torturing me further
I haven't written
I cannot write,
they forbid me to
calligrify their secrets onto paper
I'm force to burden them within my head
I don't think I can control them
They spill to territories I try to avoid,
apathetic to my pleas
I want to write them out of my head
write every single detail of them away

but I can't even describe them.
Just something I wrote once... which feels quite true sometimes.

the ink in the well
takes shape
even before the quill sinks in
thoughts filter and drip

oh i cannot catch them as they fall

my thoughts are peripheral
and they escape as i turn to face them
