Every time I close my eyes… something opens.

4:52 AM


Almost grabbed the phone—
stopped myself.
I don’t want to know what time it is.

The room hasn’t changed. Same shadows. Same hum from the fan.

I tell myself to just lie still… stop fighting it… but my body won’t listen.

I get close—right there on the edge—and something pulls me back up again.

I’m tired enough to disappear.
Just not enough to stay there.

If you leave now,
the night will still be here.
Minutes pass
