Midnight Convenience Store

The midnight convenience store is
a small lighthouse in a city that never sleeps

I feel as if
I am the only one left behind

The scent of coffee
tickles the depths of my heart

A warm moment
for someone else

Something I no longer have

But it is okay, this light
shines upon my heart

The neon lights
one by one
are like messages from the universe

A stranger standing in line at the register

Those lonely eyes
resemble me from long ago

Everyone is wandering
in search of someone's light, so
I will stay here, just like this

To share this lonely light

May you have a brilliant day
