Hours Deeper

Something in

me

wanted to

go

dark

Wanted to

disappear past the mark

But a hand came down and drew

a line

Said even faded, you

still

shine

Never all the way to none

Some of you stays,

even when it's gone

A floor beneath the

fading light

Held there, softly, out of sight

Nothing was ever truly asleep

Just waiting its turn

in the deep What looks like absence,

still holds on

A quiet shape,

before the dawn

Never

all the way to none

Some of you stays,

even when it's gone

A floor beneath the fading light

Held there, softly, out of sight

Still there,

at the

edge

of

gone
