2am
I try so hard
not to hear
your quiet tortured sobs
ripping through my head
I try to sleep
but I can still feel
the weight of all your tears
weighing down my pillow
I try to ignore
searing pain gnawing
my every tender limb
from the blades you took to yours
I try to close
my bloodshot eyes to block
images of your bloodied body
laying beneath once clear water
I try to move
but its as if Im frozen standing
watching you fade away countless
times, your heart never stopping
I try to reach
hoping to touch your weary face
wanting to wipe the misery
from your beautiful eyes
I try to show
you I exist but every time
I reach for you I break the mirror
and youre gone once again
