    State

    I deserve attention

    I desire affection

    no more self reflection

    or any inner inspection

     

    Don't you ever get sick and tired

    of walking around ,

    feeling so wired?

    used prophylactics on the ground

     

    Hear that sound?

    the silent pleas

    no, not me

    senses numbed beyond belief

     

    Every day, you approach me and say

    something rather witty,

    with the usual undertones

    of electricity, that shoots right through me

     

    Make me feel on fire

    eyes of smoldering desire

    lips that crack a grin

    can't you see the state I'm in?
