2:52 am

At this lonely hour,
2:52 and my mind continues to wander.
My heart is torn in two
As I listen to the radio,
My heart aching at the strum
Of a sad rhythm and blues.

Pause–as he croons of heartbreak.
Nod my head as she screams
A Valkyrie’s cry for revenge.

Dark and troubled,
The ether simmers with heat,
Lightening strikes the sky,
Bisecting the world black and white.

A mask formed in my mind,
Ancient and familiar
in the shape of mine.
