2am is when the wolves call for me and I die slowly. 2am is when I end up sacrificing myself to you, so I can finally be quiet. 2am is when I won't fall asleep because all I have is this window to keep me company. 2am I look and see a tumbleweed in the streets, wandering aimlessly. "That's my heart now set it free." 2am a song comes on the radio. It isn't familiar,  but it somehow describes everything I'm feeling, even right down to its melody. 2am I don't know who I am but all I know is I need a friend. At 2am I will play this song until my head can't take it anymore. It's a mantra that won't stop repeating itself, and I love it. 2am I look into my sheets. I peer down and see your face. I reach to touch it but it fades away. Transparent you is very rude. At 2am I will sing this tune I do not know. Therefore it will sound drunken, but I do not care because it reminds me of you. 2am where did you go? You used to be right next to me. Now all I have is oxygen filling the space where you would look at me and say, "I love you." 2am how did I end up this way?  I open my hands and see my veins. I hate them. I hate them because you used to run your fingers across them. 2am I grab the weapon of death. I can see my reflection even in the darkness. As my heart throbs of pain, my life is over and I am free, at 2am.
