2 AM

By Sheila Mumbo

2 am,
Such a beautiful time,
Writing sad lines of you,
Tracing every part of you,

2 am,
My soul lies naked,
With pain and silence,
So loud I can’t hear a word,

2 am,
My joy is ripped off,
In this lonely dark abyss,
Which is strangely beautiful,

2 am,
Thinking of sad moments,
Filling up my poetry book,
With heavy emotions of us,

2 am,
Strange time to be awake,
Trying to cling to life’s blessing,
With a strength I’m slowly losing,
