What do I do? What do I say.

Will anything keep these thoughts at bay?

Through my mind they laugh and play,

Keeping me in despair all day.

I want to speak, to say my piece.

To keep things the way they used to be.

But that ship has sailed, I watched it go.

Straight across the sea.

So I bite my tongue

I play as if I’m dumb.

I try to be numb,

It’s not easy I must say.

All the while my thoughts turn and burn

Leaving me in agony, as I inwardly yearn
