2 AM - Poem About Heartbreak and Longing

A little poem about my 2AM thoughts on those lonely nights :)

2 AM is generally when I think about you

And everything you did to break my heart
Yet all I would remember are the good days
When we loved each other despite the odds

The quiet night allowed me to think clearly

To indulge in the pure happiness of the past

But it also allowed me to think about you

And how I have lost the privilege to have you

I would look at the moon and see your face

And the smile of yours that made me smile

I would try to smile because of those days

Then I would remember that you have left

2 AM is when sleep seems miles away

That's when I can't stop thinking about you

I spend my nights hoping for sleep and you

Still, the next day, the spot beside me is empty

Does 2 AM bring back memories for you too? I’d love to know what thoughts keep you up at night. Share in the comments!
