Where did my words go to?

I have lost it all
Now I must bring it all back.

Dig in my brain to find the words I said
and put them back where they belong.

Oh,
where did they go?

They were just right here a minute ago,
now they're vanished.
Fog is here,
darkness descends.
Mind is a mess
as it's always been.

Dig down deep.

Now try deeper.


Are they still there?

I swear I hear the echoes,
but I cannot locate the direction their voices are coming from.

Keep digging.
You may find them there.
Keep on digging,
for I no longer can.

Keep on,
