Light Doesn't Reach Here

I keep the curtains drawn all day

The sun feels hostile anyway

Clock hands drip like melting wax

Another hour I won't get back

Light doesn't reach here but I'm still breathing

Even in the dark I feel the ache of meaning

I don't need saving I just need space

Let me be broken at my own pace

There's beauty in the unlit rooms

The echo hums its quiet truth

No spotlight no applause

Just a fragile kind of pause

Light doesn't reach here but I'm still breathing

Even in the dark I feel the ache of meaning

I'm not collapsing I'm just low

Not every garden needs to grow

Don't turn the light on just to see

There's something sacred underneath

I'm not the loss I'm not the fear

I'm just a soul still drawing near

Light doesn't reach here but don't be afraid

I found myself where shadows stayed

No rescue needed just time and sound

And one more breath before I'm found
