In the darkness of the night
Silence hangs heavy in the air

The weight of grief presses down upon my chest
Each breath catching in my throat

2 A.M. is when my demons come out
They taunt me
And let me know what I am losing

I built my life around you
Never knowing it could come crashing in

2 A.M. is when the pain comes in
Nothing holding it back

I hold in a sob
My chest aches with the effort
I curl in on myself

An attempt to keep
The feeling of cracking
The feeling of breaking

It overtakes my body
I lose my battle

The sobs break free
My body shivers and quakes

2 A.M. when my world sleeps
When the silence is too much

All my haunting thoughts breaking in
The grief overtakes me
I fall apart
No longer able to keep my pieces together
