I can't write

By silentninja

I can't write
Every line I try meets delete
Each word lacks emphisis
I chase phantoms
Hoping they hurt me
Hoping to find the perfect dark
Four words of gold
Have no substance
Erase and rewind
The page remains blank
A hour passes
Nothing

Is this what I really have become?
