the night, smooth as silk, wraps me in a warm embrace
the heat of the moment takes me by surprise,
not giving me time to think anything through.
the faint glow of the city reflects across the still harbor.
my decision is made.
I tighten my grip on the steering wheel,
focus,
and in a flash,
I’ll be gone.
penetrating the walls, invading my space,
comes the sound.
it chases me, finds me, leaves me with no place to hide.
searching for the source, I face the noise,
I found it was easier to forget than to hold on,
a relief to consider myself free.
I never could’ve realized how suffocating it was to chase thrills,
trapped in the sweetness of cliche and movie-like dreams,
I tried slamming the door,
Staying quiet, listening, keeping myself locked up,
Pretending it wasn’t real,
