3am caffeine-induced high
Humming in blissful peace
The smell of breakfast frying-
Eggs cooking in blistering grease.

A dazzling sea of despair
And gemstones of radiant agony
Ripple through the scalding bathwater
As it fills up in silence uncanny.

Steam runs throughout the house,
stretching over sheets and tile
As water follows hastily after,
Spilling out in cascading piles.
