I lost my voice, I cannot speeak,

I have nothing left to say.

My heart is shattered, my spirit crushed,

and my soul has drifted away.

I woke up one morning exhausted from crying.

I fought, and struggled all night to keep from dying.

It rendered me speechless, I could not remember words,

and it seemed I could not use my vocal chords.

I laughed at the irony, but I never made a sound.

No one was listening, no one heard me hit the ground.

i listen carefully, I watch with open eyes.

There is nothing said I have not heard a mllion times.

The words are lost to me, just another pare.

There is not much left to fall away from my broken heart.
