Answer Me

about a poet suffering with writer's block

I sit upon this stump
Pen and paper in hand
And the words come from

A huge gust of wind

Did it speak to me?
What did you say?
Please speak clearly

Why do you move away?

Come back! Come back!
I was in such deep thought
Trust me, I won't over react

Just please don't blow me off

What is it you want to me say?
I'm not sure how I should feel
I am starting to turn a bit grey

I just thought we had a deal

I can feel you on my neck
I enjoy your cool, gentle breeze
You are more than I did expect

Just say something, please

Don't toil with my emotions
Please don't break my heart
I'm leaving it out in the open

Just don't rip it apart

Don't let me wait much longer
I feel this isn't the best of me
Forgive me, for I'm not stronger

Please hurry! Answer me!
