When Words Fail

I become weak, as my words fail.
Once a source of hope, now nothing to set sail.
My joy had left and what remains is pain.
I can only sit and look at myself with destain.

Where do I turn when all is gone.
I toil to push forth, as I slowly lose tone.
Nothing makes sense all is lost.
I have begun to feel like a ghost.

Time passes by in a blink.
All my dreams begin to shrink.
I have forgotten those around me.
For there is nothing left to see.
