Lost Thoughts

There were thoughts,
In my head,
When I lay down,
To sleep the night

There were tears,
On my cheeks,
When I lay down,
To sleep the day

The lines faded,
The lyrics lost,
I strive to retrieve,
What came but left

Those were the lines,
That struck my mind,
While trying to sleep,
After a tiresome night

The words that flow now,
Ain't even a shadow,
Of what strikes inside,
At a time unfit

Why can't I recall,
Those words of gem,
That once possessed,
My mind within
