Write, write, scratch.

Scribble, scribble, crash.

Love, love, death.

Eyes, eyes, blind.

Ears, ears, deaf.

The words I try to describe

Are too simple for my spiraling mind.

This is brilliant. I love how it's so simple, yet so descriptive! And very relatable! The rhyme and rhythm flow so well in this! Excellent job!
