2.18 AM

The couple next door are shouting and throwing things, the crying of children can be heard
I'm awake from my uncomfortable sleep

A middle-aged woman sobbing on the bench, her palms are over her face
Thinking why is love so cheap

Almost unconscious, the brown eyed girl stares at her wrist on the bathroom floor
Maybe she have cut too deep

The heartbroken freshman stood at the border of a mountain slope
Not caring that it is steep

As her phone light up, she covers herself with a blanket
Ignoring the beep

2.19 AM

I'm lost in my thoughts, wondering
Why can't people just be happy for a second?
