Tendrils crawl around the brain
Tightening their grip
And secreting lacklustre venom
Grey seeps into every cell
Leeching passion and synthesising apathy
Decluttered and dissatisfied
Stare at the screen with weary eyes
Restless with nowhere to go
Trapped in a double-glazed cage
A life on pause
But the world continues in the background
Watching as the player is ripped apart by the zombies of time
Guilt takes hold as seconds pass by
Fear of failure grips the mind
Perhaps this is not meant to be after all.
