4’o clock

Knots in my heart run a bit deeper
With every melody piercing its way
It feels like this one can be a keeper
Murmurs in a cold blanket and I stay
Still as ice, this world seems all grey
Gently pats my back and I melt
Still as a lake, back at home I felt
The softest quilts and blinding dark
Wrapped around me like a sweet embrace
As I slip into the unconscious heaven

This poem was inspired by a beautiful song named 4’o clock by RM and V of BTS. It used to be my comfort during my hostel days when I had trouble sleeping with some noisy roommates. I would like to clarify it was not the roommates who were unkind but it was just me being overly sensitive. I can’t blame someone for interrupting my sleep when it can break even with the fluttering of leaves. But this song literally teleported me to my cozy bedroom back home with blackout curtains and sound of pleasant winds. I have attached a link to the song, give it a listen if you are curious (turn on the english subtitles and lyrics will make it even better). Its just beautiful.
