Hoping for a miracle, praying for a chance.

I sit at my kitchen table

past midnight on a Friday morning.

School in a few hours.

Still drowning in homework.

 

Every now and then I glance at twitter and Instagram.

Maybe he\'s replied.

Maybe I can work.

He hasn\'t of course.

 

When he finally does,

I see my chance at happiness float away

on a cloud that only I can see.

 

I missed my chance

Because I\'m sitting here

past midnight

swimming in late work

and late nights.
