2:17 No calls No noise Just me Streetlights fade Across the lane Rain still writes Upon the glass Empty trains Don't know my name But somehow They know my past Coffee cold Inside my hand Traffic hums Like distant waves Every answer Left unread Echoes through These quiet streets After midnight Everything slows Except My thoughts 2:17 AM Still awake Counting lights Instead of days 2:17 AM City breathes While I learn What silence means 2:17 AM No disguise Just the skyline And my mind 2:17 AM Not alone Every lonely soul Comes home Corner store Still open late One old taxi Passes by Someone laughs A block away Then the sound Becomes the sky I don't chase The morning now I let darkness Teach me how Every shadow Every street Puts another Piece in me Night doesn't Hide the truth It reveals it 2:17 AM Still awake Counting lights Instead of days 2:17 AM City breathes While I learn What silence means 2:17 AM Every scar Looks softer From this far 2:17 AM I believe Night is where I finally breathe No one asked How I survived The night already knew 2:17 AM First light near I can almost See it here 2:17 AM One more mile Through the dark Toward the sunrise 2:17 AM Still I stand Midnight made me Who I am 02:17 Continue walking
