Passing TimeA Poem by alex-marielonely pillow talk.
Passing Time
2:00am It's 2 am, drifting in and out of consciousness, your presence creeps in, just a ghost in the walls. This way i keep you alive, crawling inside my head through my ear, i should get away from here, but something won't let me leave. 3:00am They say 3 am is the time for lonely lovers, but this love is just a camouflage, for a resemblance of rage. your world, you said i was, with galaxies in your eyes. But what worth is a world to the universe, head buried in the pillow-i cry. Why could we never just 'be'? i feel my anger swelling, i swim into its sea. 4:00am 4 am and the birds start to sing, more awake now than before, though your presence is fading, i weep. It's sad to think now, the only time I'll get to spend with you, is in my halfhearted sleep. Why is that phrase so familiar? 5:00am Still empty, still lonely, still broken, for you? I'm not sure. Lying awake in bed, feeling the spot on my chest, where you used to rest your head. There is nothing left. 6:00am You've gone now, absent in my thoughts, gently easing off the pain. But even with my seams stitched tightly, no doubt, scars will remain. Like how your eyes still catch the light the right way, but our hearts don't beat the same. Note to self: That's why love's a funny thing, the way it lingers in your mind, no matter what you do, but in certainty you may rely, on the passing of time. The hardest part is forgetting those, who not only gave you things to remember, but those you swore you would never forget. But now it's okay, with this comes repose, and waking each day, no pressure to exist, no demands of your being, just a loneliness to suppress, nothing to be imposed. And with time, my dear, recovery arose. © 2014 alex-marieAuthor's Note
