Awake Poem by Rizza F. Awayan

The clock is ticking slowly
I could hear the sounds smoothly
It says it’s 2: 26 in the morning, quite early
Still am wide awake thinking of you naturally


Why you have to do this to me I impugn
You’ve hurt my feelings, am in forlorn
Maybe time and space never allow us to be one
Or it’s just fate for us to leave this thing undone

How many times in my life I’ve come across this path
Vowed not to trek the same for this is all I’ve got
Please GOD let me be free this time, I’m beggin’
‘Cause I can’t stand the pain once again


2: 55 in the morning
