At 3 am I have to wonder Whether these are butterflies or bats in my stomach, Keeping me awake, The night is silent but my mind is racing. All I wanted was to be alone. At 3 am I have to wonder Whether these thoughts that chew away at my brain, Keeping me awake, Are self destructive or self protective. All I wanted was to be alone. At 3 am I have to wonder Whether these violent emotions, wildly swinging, Keeping me awake, Are out of my control or within my means. All I wanted was to be alone. ... At 4 am I have to wonder Whether the thought of me Kept you awake And how I would give anything to be beside you And not alone.
