A time I miss

It's three am and I can't sleep.

A lot of things have been running through my mind lately.

I turn on my front and hug my pillow,

Just like I used to do before as I was slowly falling asleep,

When I was a child and everything was happy.

I lay there and for a moment I see myself,

Five years old, laying in a bed.

Excited for the next day. Perfect family, or so it seemed.

Smiling, and full of dreams.

But quickly, I feel my shoulder pushing on my face,

My feet touching the end of the bed.

The air gets thick, and my eyes are wet.

I am not five nor happy.

Those two things nevermore I can ever be.
