A Dozen Songs

You remind me of a dozen songs
Drifting through my mind
Mixing with my feelings
A tornado of words
Bringing me to my knees
Wreaking havoc in my heart
A rainbow of emotions
Tangling together
Fighting to make sense
Of which goes where
Trying to regain control
Of this whirwind in my mind
I part my lips
Searching for the right words
But my voice fails me
Again
And so I stand there
Watching, wounded
As you walk away
