6:33 a.m.


Ask me what time it is?
6:33 a.m.
The way this looks
reminds me of someplace
I can only
almost remember.
That's why I think I feel so sad.
I remember it was always dark,
like this, outside
no matter what the time.
The bars on the windows
remind me of my loneliness
cause I would sit here
so all alone
on the black couch
and stare.
The shadows on the wall
make me lonely now
creating black and white rainbows.
