"Wake me up at 12"
Time starts ticking out loud,
the sound resonates deep down into my frozen heart.
Our story started like any other,
as cliche as it could ever be.
A love song with a broken bridge.
An untuned melody,
A song of someone who was once chosen but was thrown away in an instant.
But I guess that's how reality works with us. I was just drowned in a deep slumber,
I dreamt about a happy ever after with you but I woke up,
the shattering sound of my heart falling relentlessly, lingered.
The fall was hard enough,
causing both our hearts to shatter on the cold floor.
Once, you were my favorite fairytale—
one that I keep on rereading.
But it wasn't the same as before,
even a beautiful fairytale gets old and forlorn.
And if ever I end up falling asleep again,
just wake me up at 12,
'cause I don't want to hurt myself again.
