WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES ONE......



When the clock strikes one
and catches me
eating a Bun.....

past midnight
no one else in sight.....

it smiles at me
teases me
for being alone
since you have gone


tells me
I look rowdy
an alcoholic
look
as if straight out of a mob....

what can I do ?
when I am attracted
only by you..
seek attraction
only in your eyes.....

the only  witness
(unfortunately silent)
to my pain and agony
being muffled out
on
a wet pillow
are my muted sighs....

when the clock strikes one
and
catches me
eating a Bun.....
