3am Blues

I’ve been up for a minute
awake though the minute’s
a little longer than I wanted
dragging by slowly like my feet
when I drag them
across this life
 
A minute, well
this minute’s going on  
for far too long
and I’m no martyr
but a bitch just trynna
swallow the bitterness
of this old song
 
funny how a lil bit of a minute
a 3 in the morning fit mixed  
with the aftertaste of liquor
I put down when I was let down
for the thousandth time
makes me lay awake for a minute
 
Just a minute  
 
Just a minute little minute
I’m sitting up, aching heart
from that little bit of drinking
tipsy girl who mixed it in  
with a little bit of hurt
and it’s just a minute
just a minute-
 
Well..
 
What’s another minute more?
