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
