4:06 Am

Awakened again,
another bad dream
with you in it without me.

Why me?
Why should I be worrying
	about you?
It’s 4:06 in the morning
	for heaven’s sake.

Four months later
	I’m still feeling empty
		without you.
Sure, I shouldn’t be thinking
		about you,
but, I will until and if
	I find somebody else
		to fill your place
		in my heart.

Why can’t I let you go
	like you let me go – 
hard and fast.

Why is it I believe you need me
	now more than ever?
I guess this is what I have to believe
		at 4:06 am.
