Dumb

a poem by Anand

I have been standing at the mirror for so long
Saying all the words that I wanted to say for long

Honey I love you, I need you by my side
Honey I have you, right inside my eyes

She’s a beauty that anyone would want
I wonder how I’m gonna stand out from the lot

Honey I love you, better know its for your good
Honey I feel you, more than anybody could.

And I stand before you, to say it all
My knees tremble so hard that I could fall

And you stare, your cold stare down at me
At this sailor, who is lost all at sea…

My tongue twirls and twists to make a dance
No words coming out… not a chance…

Now you tell me… why I have grown so dumb
Coz I don’t know… why I have grown so dumb
Yeah… I have really grown so dumb…
