i dunno, it’s getting late.

Night, and everything it entails, sleeps soundlessly on my bed tonight.  My thoughts hang onto my fingers like a pendulum, unsure of when to depart, but each swing brings them one tick closer to sunrise where they begin to slowly fade.  

The rise and fall of the heated laptop on my chest gradually lessens with each slowing breath.  I doze off into the memories of high school days, when the smiles were genuine, mistaking the warmth and laptop screen for sunlight cast upon closed eyes.
