Listen Friend...! ! ! Poem by Afzal Shauq

I have noticed,
with thin fingers
you scratch at your hand
staring that blank stare
as if writing something
or wanting to remove
the lines of your luck
Why...?

I do not understand...
Secrets you keep hidden
in the depths of your heart
But time is passing...
And still you keep silent
as if I have spoke out to the air
all of my life.
