11:30

It's 11:22 and
my mind won't stop thinking
about you

It's 11:23 and
my mind is itching
Like a flea

It's 11:24 and
my mind asks me
"What are you living for?"

It's 11:25 and
my mind asks me
"Why are you still alive?"

It's 11:26 and
My mind asks me
"Why is this?"

It's 11:27 and
my mind coos
"I wonder what its like in heaven."

It's 11:28
and my mind yells
"it's not too late"

It's 11:29 and you finally reply
You ask if I'm alright.
I don't want to bother you
So I text "I'm fine"

It's 11:30 and
My mind is calming.
I never told you what was wrong.
Instead I took too many pills and
Now I'm seeing birdies.
