Loss of Words

Things are not as clear as they were before

The words overflow from my head

I scramble to collect what I knew once more

Slowly sinking instead

The words overflow from my head

I once was strong, yet here I am

Slowly sinking instead

And my mind blocks out the thoughts like a dam

I once was strong, yet here I am

Trying to do what I’d done before

While my mind blocks out the thoughts like a dam,

I am left crying on my mind’s cold floor

Trying to do what I’d done before,

I strain and strain to remember

I am left crying on my mind’s cold floor

As the months near November

I strain and strain to remember,

Recalling my strong love

As the months near November,

I long for the knowledge time disposed of

Recalling my strong love,

I vow to persevere

I long for the knowledge time disposed of

And will fight till things grow clear

I vow to persevere

Yes, my past is now my task

I’ll fight till things grow clear

For I’m determined to bring my love back

Yes, my past is now my task

I scramble to collect what I knew once more

I’m determined to bring my love back

As things are not as clear as they were before
