5:32

 

Raindrops on my skin,

I couldn’t care less if I go in.
It’s 5 AM, I’m wide awake,
I hate the sunrise, hate the truths I fake.

I’m not strong, just used to the strain,
The daily hurt, the constant pain.
I ignore your calls, it’s not that I don’t care,
I just can't seem to feel love anywhere.

Sunlight falls on my hands,
Growing darker as I make my demands.
It’s 6 AM, and I see half the truth,
But the rest is a lie that I can’t disprove.

I’m strong enough, I’ve learned to survive,
With the daily ache, I stay alive.
Texting you back, saying I'll be fine,
As long as I’m fed and I’m heard in time.

Sunlight hits my vampire face,
Touches the mole beneath my gaze.
It’s been 7 hours since I’ve been in the light,
Now I’m ready to face what’s been out of sight.

Oh, my dear, I just want to be loved,
Waking up free, no weight from above.
Running before the darkness takes hold,
To hold you tight, and feel love unfold.

As Frank sang in his song,
"This love will keep us alive."
As long as I’m loved, I’ll stay alive,
As long as I’m loved, I’ll thrive.
