4:00 AM

It is 1:00 am.
Slow walking.
Sporatic breathing.
I close my door  behind me.
What we did not want to happen,
has happened.
It is over.
All over.

You had to,
were forced to-
but did not want to.
I understood though,
I took it well-
at that time-
in that moment.

It is 2:00 am.
My head can not seem to find a place to be.
I want my eyes to close-
to close.
My mind saids stay awake.

They are red and star-like.
They are wet.
My cheeks,
they are water stained.

It is 3:00.
Time is moving,
I lie here-
spread out-
with my head,
with these emotions.

He feels them too.
It was hard for him,
Very hesitant.
Very quiet.

It is 4:00 am.
I can sleep soundly now.
Right?

My body may have slept,
but not my mind, for that-

Never shut off.

This is very powerful and emotional poem i am imagining sall kind of things happening going off at the wee small hours of the day i can imagine the last embrace kissing holding on for dear life and physically exchanging the passion of the moment as you realise that although you cannot hold each other again the moment will remain very special forever and from your point of view it will be difficult to disconnect those feelings.
I loved the play on words and wonderful expression an awesome write.

Relationships at your age are all about emotion and hormaones and that is the way nature intended it to be
Very nice Hard to reconcile to your self sometimes but it is the way of things

Departing with someone you care so much for always hurts. This poem is beautifully written,and it's expressive. Sometimes I think people forget just how very important love is. Great write....

[Wharton]

I can imagine how it must hurt. The author's note clarifies what was already clear, that it was a break-up that neither side wanted to happen. As much as it pains you, still it has produced a well-written, mature poem that avoids trite sentiment through it's understanding on language. I certainly wish you well.

[Bran the Broken]

well-written: simple, straightforward, yet still meaningfully meandering, in a poignant, distracted, sad way.

[Phibby Venable]

wonderful flow & the reader feels involved..painful & sad, but
very well written.
