Running out

When you run out of words
What do you say
Can't describe anything
At all, in any way

When you run out of chat
What do you do
When you've lost the connection
With those around you

Seems it's quite brittle
When you thought it was strong
Feels almost unknown
Instead of your favourite song

That link, those ties
The hold you in good stead
Calm you down when
You might be losing your head
Those close, you'd call friends
Suddenly seem far away
Such a great distance
Opened up on this day

Is it them, or is it me
I can't answer right now
Can't get to the bottom of
My words somehow

So I'll be quiet, I will
Think I should zip myself shut
Don't want to linger
And just moan and tut

Watch for me later though
I'll return in a while
When I'm not a grumpy bastard
And might be wearing a smile
