Words have lost their meaning
Strings of black scribbles
On white pages
Like some abstract art
I can read them
I understand what they tell me
Because I learned that in school
But their meaning doesn't reach me
I know that those letters form words
I know that those words form sentences
I know that those sentences form stories
But to me they have lost their meaning
They are empty and cold
Just symbols and sounds
To convey basic information
I have lost my words
Where has the emotion gone?
