Tongue-Tied Mumbling

tongue-tied mumbling
of an anxious mind 
unable to think clearly 
unable to speak freely 
nervousness overtook 
the mind creating varying degrees of
inconsistent interpretations that 
clouded my better judgment 
causing many indecisive decisions to be made 
creating many a foot in month statement to be uttered
this became the way in which i interacted 
with you 
could not help it 
could not stop it 
could not control it 
it over took my very being 
at the time

So great and excellent. Three words underrating this magnificient piece which has dragged my mind in the viscose silk of awe to really lack what to say. A definite 7 friend.
