lyrics

I ran out of ideas, then they came. I filled the blackness, the blank page. I wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote. A hand held out. A speck of hope. Every minute, total love. I wrote when the words wouldn’t come. Every minute, in the dark. On the back of a business card. When I was busy with quote-unquote "other things," still I wrote. Some songs were witty. Some songs were dumb. I wrote when the words wouldn’t come. While I was walking or watching TV. While I was out driving, I wrote a few new things. In the shower or at the store. Sitting on the computer. Some words from long before. From near and far. A voice, a smile, a hug. I wrote when the words wouldn’t come. What did I write about? God again? He’d already said it. My words he’d already said. My characters did nothing. But resembled me. A finished story. Useless and empty. My finger on the soft surface. The party’s done. I wrote when the words wouldn’t come.
