It's 5:00 am and you're up listening to the static buzz of the radio against the cold of the morning
Your eyelids are heavy as you take a sip from your mug
the bitter and cold registering in your taste buds
You look out a window frame of chipped white paint
ever the quiet observer of things
The skies are barely any tint at all
just an endless blue-black
but if you look far enough you can just make out a hazy shade of rose
maybe that's the sky blushing
You once longed to travel beyond the hues of blues and blacks and rosy-pinks
But now you sit here with your chapped lips and faded skin
Drinking coffee long gone cold
