the beaming lights seeming like a distant brume.
Silence is all that I can hear,
the encircling noises becoming mute spectators.
This world of mine comes to a shocking halt,
mindless to the movements around.
I am here deluging in tears,
but my smile giving me a deceptive outlook.
My heart grows heavy,
stubborn to pay no attention to the lighter side of life.
The friend I had in my solitude,
turns away, disguised as loneliness,
the people around fading into insignificance.
