The title immediately drew me to this piece. This poem/haiku both accurately and powerfully sums up the deep feelings I feel required and necessary to create a piece of this nature. While I am sure it can be interpreted many different ways as we all have own unique feelings and experiences to draw from, I think you captured a plethora of deep emotions in just 17 syllables. You did so in elegant way to where it's smooth and flows so freely.
"Many empty days" are three words that invokes and captures so much emotion when used in that order. Definitely relatable to many in a plethora of different ways.
"Your input so far away" strongly emphasizes the distance (not so much literally, though it can be interpret that was as well) emotionally from whomever this piece is written for... and for whomever the reader interprets that person to be on a personal level.
"Blank screens all I see" is what hit homes as it invokes such a lonely and sad realization to this particular reader, though I feel your pain behind it in writing. Incredible poem/haiku, I could say more, but you said it all so much better in just 13 words, brilliantly executed and expressed! One of my favorites poems/haikus.

Sometimes words scream out in my head haiku/senryu and I have no choice but to listen and obey. It was birthed out of sorrow; however, the blankness eventually filled.

I can definitely relate in similar regards, as I am similar with poetry while haikus requires more thought for me personally. However I am very new writing haikus/senryus. While I am sorry to hear that it's birthed from sorrow given how painful and debiliting that can be... However it's allowed you to both create and share your wonderful writing skills and talent.
Extremely glad to hear that the blankness has since been filled. Patience and hope are two important ingredients in the recipe for creating and finding success, happiness, and experiencing peace and love.
You created a fantastic piece out of said sorrow, and I hope for you to continue to move forward toward a better path, my fellow poet.
This poem is so accurate, I never know what to say to people I love & facing a blank screen when wanting to write something meaningful always puts me off. Maybe I'll try and rectify that. Good job.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem. I am glad if this writing had a good impact on you.
Well you just summed up my feelings in a nutshell with a picture that just captures it all way too well, so thanks for that. I can't tell you how many times I have just stared at my phone, trying to think of something to say because I want to talk to her but end up saying nothing because there is nothing for me to say. I'm sure others can relate as well.

Sometimes it is hard to restart a conversation after weeks or even years of silence; however, if we don't we will never know where things might have gone.
