[bodytext] => My talent has gone
And leaves behind an aching hole
That begs to be filled
The scars that litter my arms
They are dry no longer oozing
The passion I once felt
This pen is parched
And these pages are brittle and crumbling
From lack of use
My heart is scattered amongst the wind
And I lie here broken and destitute
Fingers bloodied and shaking
From the needle that tried to stitch
The pieces back together
The scars that criss-cross my legs
Are dry and I find no relief in them
The bitterness contorts my face
And works on me like acid in my stomach
I feel so empty and useless
For this road is hard and jagged
And these rhymes have fled
Leaving me lost, totally lost
The hurt in my eyes, and ringing in my ears
Cannot be alleviated
I scratch at this page,
But my pen is dry
And all talent has fled

My talent has gone
And leaves behind an aching hole
That begs to be filled
The scars that litter my arms
They are dry no longer oozing
The passion I once felt
This pen is parched
And these pages are brittle and crumbling

My heart is scattered amongst the wind
And I lie here broken and destitute
Fingers bloodied and shaking
From the needle that tried to stitch
The pieces back together
The scars that criss-cross my legs
Are dry and I find no relief in them
The bitterness contorts my face
And works on me like acid in my stomach
I feel so empty and useless
For this road is hard and jagged
And these rhymes have fled
Leaving me lost, totally lost
The hurt in my eyes, and ringing in my ears
Cannot be alleviated
I scratch at this page,
But my pen is dry
And all talent has fled

*winces* Ouch. I know the feeling; I think we've all felt that way at one point. And if such a vivid, poignant, beautiful poem is stemmed from when you feel you're left talentless, I'd love to see what you could do with talent.
Hope your dry spell ends soon.
dusk and daybreak,

i don't think your talent has fled at all ,,,,a very dark and tormented write. maybe it's the time of year, seems like a lot of folks are in a funk with writing these days. keep scartching on the paper, the muse has not deserted you my friend

Joel your talent will never leave you, if you can write like this. Don't give up on your writing, try and give it time and it'll come back to you! I love the last couple of lines in each stanza, brilliant : )
