Poem: 4:30 in the Morning

4:30 in the Morning

4:30 in the morning
No one to call my own
I keep waking up
Not use to being alone

I look at the clock
Time staring me in the face
I rollover the beds empty
But that wasn't always the case

4:45 in the morning
Another 15 minutes have passed
Things weigh heavy on my mind
I have to handle so many tasks

I have to move forward
Soon cut all ties
Get on with my life
Let this bird fly

5:00 in the morning
I really need to go back to sleep
But its hard sometimes
When my emotions begin to creep

Sadness strikes me
And loneliness swirls around
I just lay there remembering
How everything went down

5:15 in the morning
I really need to stop watching the clock
Close my eyes, go to sleep
But the thoughts won't stop

Questions so many
Answers so few
I need to let it go
But analyzing is all I now how to do

5:30 in the morning
I'm starting to drift into a dream
My eyes are heavy
I can feel the sands of sleep

I'm falling into slumber
As I look at the clock
Its 6:00 in the morning
And the damn thing just went off
