2AM

author
Shelby Jordan

At 2AM
When the house is sleeping
And the only noise is her music
She breaks down

Her pillow muffles her sobs
And absorbs her tears
Her fingers tremble
As she clutches her razor

And somewhere
Between then
And dawn
She ceases to exist

Shelby!  This write is truly tragic!  The desolation and despair pours from each word in the sorrowful tale.

Excellent imagery and emotional impact!
