Words (Loop Poetry Variation 1)

Words, words, they have all disappeared.
Disappeared, faded into oblivion.
Oblivion, a black hole of barren space.
Space has devoured the words.

Silent are the voices, pages are blank.
Blank, no more words to read or speak.
Speak now, write the words, hear the voices,
voices that cry out, bring back the words!

In each stanza, the last word of the first line becomes the first word of line two, last word of line 2 becomes the first word of line 3, last word of line 3 becomes the first word of line 4. This is followed for each stanza. The rhyme scheme is abcb.
