Novocain

The dentist gave me Novocain Before he drilled to numb the pain. Why all the hurt?  if it could be prevented Blessed be the one who invented. And Then I came home  started to eat But wasn’t able to tell if  'twas tart or sweet. Couldn't taste the food and so instead Chewed my lip until it bled. There are  problems that are very real Which can happen if you cannot feel.

I decided to use Novacain On my heart to numb the pain Why be hurt? it could be prevented From being degraded and feeling all dented But Being loved, cherished just wouldn’t stay Feeling care or concern went the other way To protect my inner self in a time of need I didn’t even know that a heart could bleed There are some issues which are very real That stay unresolved when you cannot feel.
