Writer’s block,
To me is
The irrational fear
That Writing has left me.
My mind convinces my body that the space she once occupied is empty.
I write with doubt, and in essence I write nothing.
I bask in the glory of all the words I’d previously written.
I mourn this loss; that there won’t be more.
But, I am always proven wrong.
From the silence,
I hear her speak, her tone is chiding.
‘The Soul, will one day leave
Its body.
But, no day will come
When it’ll leave behind its
Memories.’

The Composite Review 
Well put! Especially the line ‘that Writing has left me’. I think that is the full sum of what I fear writing block to be.
