awake at 12 a.m.

                                                               Quiet desolation
                                                               noises playing in my head
                                                               where is the chaos
                                                               when i need it?
                                                               to ease the confusion
                                                               to calm the desperation

                                                               Alone
                                                               at last
                                                               but i'm not enjoying it.
