2:22 am

Centered between body and soul .
Between the aching hours 
Between lonely nights
Between the cracks of a forever broken heart
Underneath airbrushed concealer 
and false rosacea   
Behind locked doors and under cold sheets
Lying still.
Locked in hopelessness.
Awaiting an interlude 
Longing for love
Craving human touch and 
Conversation becoming less effective. 
Pain 
pain
Physical suffering or discomfort caused by illness or injury.
Perhaps of the mental kind.
Perhaps something more sophisticated then a pill can handle.
Silence becomes sacred
Comfort is forgotten privilege.
A sole escape through 8 hours of darkness.
Slowly becoming 6
Then 4
Until eternal rest
