The Length of Daylight
brightness
slowly
painfully
treaded onto
the darkness
the comfort
night brought
slipped
away
as easily
as
it
went
the sun
rose
true to
nothing
but
itself
taking
the
mystery
out
of
things
and we
tried
to
hide
ourselves
but it
crept
the
brilliance
of cruel
reality
leaving
us
with nothing
but
a dream
that faded
with
the glow
of
the
moon
made
when
fingers
shook
as they crossed
over
two
different
souls
wishing
that
the length
of
daylight
would
never
ever
reach
us
too.
