Cold city
Twinkling lights
Colleagues wave goodbye
As I walk out, coat in hand
I wave back
I sigh as I swipe out
Pack of girls laughing
Pass me by
Another day
Another night
Faked my way through
A quiet respite
For those few seconds
Before sleep hits
Mind finally free to think
What's its been trying to think
I kept interrupting it
Throughout the day
With irrelevant things
Like work and being nice
Then why am I surprised
When it can't give me answers?
Dreams that shouldn't come
Come
Wrong, no, don't
Wake up with a vague feeling
Of something bitter
And then again
Cell phone alarm
Another day,
Let's go.
