life in words

The clock shows 5 and I can’t sleep,
With every tick, a silent weep.
My heart’s been hurt time and again,
I wish I could just erase the pain.
I thought I was strong, but I was wrong.
Maybe I should just move along.
Who are you and why are you here?
Why do I let you stand so near?
Don’t stand too close I’ve lost too much,
I’m scared to live again as such.
You passed by and stopped for a drink
The cups half done; what’s left to think?
Are you going to stay and sip some more?
Or leave it and walk right out the front door.
