the sign....

 

has you speak your speech becomes more slurred...

 

making words sound more obsurd.....

 

the movements in your body become belated....

 

the reactions from your body become unrelated.....

 

you become inanimate like a stone....

 

if only i could say to you....

 

please stop.....

 

my heart will break in two....

 

if i lost you....

I like this Jeff.

On the last line I think the of should be off and I am not 100% sure the first line is correct also as I am guessing you are saying slowly you become more slurred..

Good stuff otherwise.
