Untitled 05

by siphelele-mbatha

It’s 2:30 in the morning, and Anthony Hamilton is singing the words I was trying not to say. The room is dark, but every note finds its way into the corners of my heart I’ve spent all day avoiding. Outside, the world is sleeping. Inside, old memories are wide awake. His voice drips through the speakers like rain through a broken roof, and suddenly I’m thinking about people I promised I’d forget. The silence between songs hits harder than the music itself. I stare at the ceiling, counting regrets instead of sheep, wondering how someone I’ve lost still knows the way back to my thoughts. At 2:30 a.m., Anthony Hamilton isn’t just singing— he’s reading pages I never meant for anyone to see.
