Yet Another Evening

As the sun set

The party turned over a notch.

But all she noticed was

How the sky was getting painted

With the passing second.

With the wind ruffling through the leaves

And the sky turning various blues

Her nerves were calmed.

Clothes ruffled

She stared into the distant lights

With hazy eyes, an unspoken dream she saw.

Shot after shot came the vodka

Leaving a burning trail in its wake.

Memories long forgotten

Now boiled at the surface.

With a shudder down her spine

The brave heart realised that

It was going be a long night.

With the doors to the past wide open

And the key long lost.
