My Mind at 3 a.m.

My memories pile up

Like clumsy white clouds

Against a backdrop of pure blue

Casually bumping into each other

Without a "pardon me"

Or a second glance

Memories compiled of the days we spent

The days where every second was

Filled with feeling

Whether it be intense and passionate

Or lonely and desolate

I'm not sure if I feel anymore

Or if I've become like the sun

Lazily drifting in out of the clouds

Sometimes radiating artificial warmth

If only to try to keep others happy

And it's becoming harder to escape

The muddle of these puffy white shapes

And more and more nights

I'm spending lying awake at

Times of the night that cause overthinking in some

And pregnancies in others

Trying to blow the clouds off the

Remnants of my sanity

But I can't seem to find a way

To make my skies clear blue again
