They seeped and creeped into my bones
Over several nights days weeks I don\'t remember
Crawling slithering they grasped my heart
Stole my brain and wrung it all out
Dry of all ideas of all juices of all sentiment
I am no longer sentient it stole everything
They stole everything I can\'t write the poems anymore
The rhymes I haven\'t worked out added up created
Dreamt of I don\'t think I\'m a poet anymore
It was robbed of me and now all I have is a jumble
Of letters I try and straighten out into words
Don\'t leave me letters, don\'t leave me
