NUMB

       

Noise fills the air

Thoughts thrown out the window

Concentrations playing hide and seek in my head

The game about to end

Friends and foes all hailing

Ladies and girls I have been accustomed with

Laying hold to the obvious reality

We sit side by side

Not a single word is uttered

Her negligence to her surroundings keeping her in a trance

I wish to break the silence

But my lips shut close

Afraid of rejection

Afraid of no

Still staring out of the corner of my eye

Her voice soothing my thoughts

So sweet she seems

But not on my chain she lies.
