I wake up,
Tears stream down my face,
Check the time,
I'm probably late.

5:46 the display reads,
Disbelief shows on my face,
But the house is quiet,
And the world is asleep.

I wake up,
Tears stream down my face,
Check the time,
And I'm not late.

The light chases away the shadows,
That hang over me as I lay,
It creates an orb of light,
To keep the dark at bay.

I wake up,
Tears stream down my face,
Check the time,
And I'm not late.

I unlock it knowing there's no way,
I can let go of this precious light now,
Amazing how one side of morning can be so quiet,
When the other can be so loud.
