Last Light

One word in my mouth and the room goes still

I kept a light under my tongue

for the nights I could not cross

Held it close till it burned my hands still I would not

call it lost

You were the last warm thing I knew

a name against the cold

Just one hope, just one thread when everything let go

If I break, let it open

If I fall, let it show

There is only this small fire and

I need it not to go One word one hope just you

When the sky comes down,

it's you One breath one road break through

In the dark, I run to you I have worn the weight

of silence

like a river made of stone Every door became a warning

every mercy overgrown

Then your face moved through the ruin like a vow I almost

knew And the whole world narrowed down to the chance of reaching

you

If this is all I carry let it be enough If this

is where I find you I will give it up My last

light

my one truth One word one hope just you When the sky

comes down, it's

you One breath one road break through In the dark,

I run to you Just you

just

you

one hope just you
