You have ruined
my box of words.
None of them
are good enough.
None of them
are adequate.
None of them
can do you justice.
My nouns
are neutered,
my adjectives
are absent,
my verbs
are without value.
I have run out
of metaphors
similes
and superlatives.
You have ruined
my box of words.
How can I
describe you now?

Very well done to describe how someone can render you speechless, and words can’t do the job they’re supposed to do.

Here courtesy of Holly’s blog. This is well done and builds on a neat metaphor. You mentioned superlatives, but I could see this going in the other direction as well, with a lover who left her cold. Keith
