time can change your thoughts

i am content. the smile on my face feels real.

12:47 AM

the loneliness comes. this feeling is starting to get to me

2:37 AM

i cry by myself. my heart is hurting because no one holds it.

3:17 AM

i lie sadly awake. i cannot take this feeling any longer.

4:27 AM

my skin is burning. the razor has done its job once more.
