2am
I'm addicted to heartache
The kind that rips you apart inside
Leaves you shaking
Tears streaming down your face
3am
The moon bright in your eyes
Sparkling behind the moisture
Sobs wrack my body
The stars seem to be falling from the sky
This feeling is what I know best
4am
All is quiet
The night doesn't make a sound
Theres nothing left to come out
Tears have dried
And my mind is numb
I feel nothing
Hollow and empty
This feeling is all too hauntingly familiar
5am
The morning approaches
And I am still awake
Staring at the wall
Nothing left
6am
Time to get up
Plaster a smile on my face
Smear concealer under my eyes
And pretend like those dark circles aren't there
9am
Everyone is oblivious
But I know
That tonight
I'm going to go through it all again

I wrote this pretty quickly on a whim tonight. I like it.
