one night
I didn't fall asleep
one night
I listened to that song that reminded me of you on repeat, until my ears rang and I couldn't bear to hear anymore
one night
I fixed all my problems but decided to forget the solutions by the time I saw daylight
one night
I watched one spot on the ceiling until it didn't exist to me, denying that it ever had in the first place
one night
it was morning when I had finally accepted the darkness
one night
I wrote brilliant poems until my hand was numb and my eyes watered, only to wake up to smudged love letters to people I don't believe in
but one night
I dreamed a dream about all beautiful things, about the flowers and parties and sunsets and you
but one night
it was warm and quiet, me and my thoughts were at ease
but one night
the world decided to surrender for a while
but one night
there wasn't any thing to be sad about, wasn't anything to think about, wasn't anything to see, for it was dark and the night made it that way
but one night
I finally fell asleep
