Empty Sheets

I sit alone
On empty sheets

Waiting for words to come

I'm so close, I almost see them

But they don't come

There are no words

Only whispers

Whispers that taunt me

Whispers that haunt me

I look down

The sheets are soft

Smooth and fresh

Ready to be unleashed

But I only disappoint them

I have nothing to give

Words don’t settle here

And so I wait

And so I remain
