Reflective · Original lyrics · Fictional voice · Lyrics only
The hallway lamp was still awake,
A little gold along the stair.
You left a cup beside the sink,
And room enough to meet me there.
I carry borrowed light tonight,
Not every road must shine.
One ordinary thing you did
Has made this corner mine.
The day had more than I could hold,
The words came slowly at the door.
You did not ask me for a smile,
You moved your chair and made one more.
I carry borrowed light tonight,
A small and steady view.
When morning finds another room,
I will leave some light there too.

Take a moment
What pace or instrument would you imagine for these words?
