3am
here i am again
chasing dreams of you
running after an apparition
i can never reach

pushing through
kaleidoscope images
colors fading and flashing
snapshots in my head
your smile
disappears
and the sun is too bright

i pull the blinds
return to
wishful thinking
in lucidity

quivering lips
on my pillow
you are close enough
to taste

fumble toward memories
that have yet to be made
dive into me
consume me
don't slant the truth
don't ruin me
with promises
impossible to keep

i search the streets
every strangers face
looking into eyes
at every corner
none are yours
