The sarcasm remains

but look in my eyes

the humor has died there

behind all my lies

it's swallowed me whole

and left me a shell

of who I once was

when I was still well

well in life, well in health

well with you by my side

until I gave up on us

and began to hide

But the writing is dead

and the passion is gone

so I begin to wonder

if I had it all along

will the block ever subside?

Will the words ever return?

Or will I be forced to sit here

with nothing else to do but mourn

over that life and that passion

I once held so dear

only now it has vanished

and replaced itself with fear
