The Hollow Hour

If you knew what can cut
Through
The terrible and pure
What can be saved?
Preserved in hearts, keep it
Close

We believe we have control but
Time is terminal
The ache of our agony
Cutting through, let it sting

For nothing more may lie here
Cherish this weight
It’s all that remains
If we’re to go on
Let it stay

It’s so tragic
Let it sink in

I don’t know how this is
Supposed to be
Conquered and confined in
Clutching to memory

It’s played out in silence
It’s haunting
Can you feel it?

Reminders are mirrored
Reflecting
Can you feel it?

What comes to pass, when we
Dissolve?
Ultimate darkness, playing out
Silently
In hollow hours, bring it to
Light
Life has meaning here
