where did all the words suddenly go
I can relate your reply in just yes or no
we had a big array of thoughts bartered
the endless strings of words exchanged
the impressions on keyboard vanished
the mouth dried, the tongue desiccated
the nights over brimming with radiance
the time running fast to its brilliance
and then suddenly there was this thud
feelings battered, the dreams shattered
only to find myself all alone, crestfallen
the heart obliterated, the eyes swollen
now I wonder in a state of painfulness
is this the reward for my responsiveness
