Everyone has a 3 a.m.
Someone you know you can call no matter the time
even if it was 3 a.m. they would come.
It's your best friend
It's your older sister
It's your mother or father.
Everyone has a 3 a.m.
Someone who without a doubt
will be there for you and come to you
when you need them most.
Everyone has a 3 a.m.
Scratch that.
Everyone needs a 3 a.m.
I do not have a 3 a.m.
I have a "best friend"
I have an "older sister"
I have a "mother and father"
I do not have a 3 a.m.
I do
however
need one.

i can feel you
distancing yourself from me
i can feel continental drift
i wonder, do the shoes
you wear to run from me
have holes in them?
or do you go barefoot
careful not to make a sound
in your retreat. "cover your tracks & don't look back" i imagine
your demons whisper daily
as you are growing fond of me
i wonder if your heart puts up a fight when you want to see me
or if it's a massacre
& the demons dance
on dreams you have
of us holding hands
do you wander to your car
only to find yourself back in bed?
do you put your makeup on
just to take if off again?
is your imagination of me
a graveyard, or a pair of open arms
that are inches away
but just out of reach?
you see, what i've been so afraid
to tell you for so long,
why i feign sometimes
before speaking
careful not to tell you
all my unspoken promises,
it has to do with the night you had your head on my chest and confessed you never thought my heart
could beat like hummingbird wings:
i apologize for my silence
what i've been trying to say
is that my heart hasn't slowed down
since the day we drank coffee together
continents apart
