Minute

At 5:59 AM, she's awake

staring at the ceiling

for 8 hours straight

wondering;

how sleep failed her

to temporarily take her away

from the all the demons

that's surrounding her;

how fast-paced life is

from four to three

maybe it's supposed to be;

how black and sadness

are the triggers

to sad poetry;

how indecisive a man is

to let go of what's essential

and keep what's not worthwhile

That one minute left

before six o'clock;

She decided to give up

because in order to win big battles,

you must have to lose small ones

11:50 PM

An hour ago, he left

without telling her why

leaving trails of shattered hearts

and reopened scars

Half an hour ago, she's left confused

to walk away or try harder

because he failed to prove her

that forever exists

At 11:00, she finally realized

that the heartbreaks from the flowerboy

that she admired for four years

is nothing compared

to what happened tonight

11:05 PM, she's stuck in between

having a strong mind

and a fragile heart

that made her lost soul

broken for once more

At 11:15 PM, she can't believe

having no boyfriend would still hurt

not because of young lads

but about her Dad

responsible for her first heartbreak

11:30 PM, she's chaotic;

wondering if she, still,

can trust boys

or forever shut the doors

At 11:40 PM, she's a mess

if her King will come back

for even if he left her princess

she would still wait

for the King's return

hoping that even he failed

to prove the existence of forever

he'll turn "Happily Ever After"

to reality

11:50, she's weary

she'll try to sleep

because tonight,

the world has ended for her

and will start again

in the morning
