; the one night that lasted

And felt like it may never conclude itself
As I rest my palms, on the familiar surface

Riding an enormous tidal wave
Crests of memories crashing

Alone I sit, in the one night that lasted

And only when I close my eyes does a solution surface
From the depths of my minds ocean

This moment, it mocks me
As I prop myself up, riding the wave
Smiling and breathing in the sultry smell of salt

As my eyes begin to burn, they roll back- my eyelids open
I am stuck here, waiting
in the one night that lasted
