2:36 AM

2 am is for the poets who
can’t sleep because their
minds are alive with words
for someone who’s not there.

For the alcoholics drinking
themselves into amnesia to
forget someone who left.

2 am is not for the lovers
asleep in each other’s arms.

It is for the lonely, the ones
who are in love with the
loved but are not loved in
return.
