at a loss for words

At a loss for words Well not exactly Words are plentiful Thoughts a lesser commodity Dust covered, wall flowers Resigned to their fate Thoughtless Well not exactly Thoughts think About what other thoughts Are thinking Thoughts are like a masquerade ball Concealing themselves In duplicitous deception Masked mayhem Dancing alone Words are like a barn dance Swirling syllables Changing partners To a called cadence Words and thoughts Lethargic lovers Longing for the other To ask May I have this dance.
