A Momentary Lapse in Judgement

A momentary lapse in judgment.
One split second decision
One too many
One night that ruined my life.

A momentary lapse in judgement.
One drunken drive
One too many tears shed
One kiss that was the beginning of the end.

A momentary lapse in judgement.
One chilly summer’s night
One too many red flags
One starry night sky staring down at me, helpless.

A momentary lapse in judgement.
Pull yourself up, put yourself together.
Walk to the car and go home.
Wake up in the morning pretending nothing happened.
Thinking it was all a nightmare.

A momentary lapse in judgement.
One split decision
One drunken drive
One chilly night
Wake up.
Pretend it never happened.

A momentary lapse in judgment.
One momentary lapse that ripped a proud women away, leaving a shell in its wake.

A momentary lapse in judgement.
One to never be made again.
One that led to the death of an innocent.
One that made life seem pointless.

A momentary lapse in judgment.
One night with one too many
One life created and lost
all within a night with a momentary lapse of judgement.
