Small Light

3 am and the walls lean in

Air goes quiet in my chest

Counting cracks to stay here

Feeling like I’m fading out

But there’s weight beside me

Warmth that knows my name

Breathing next to me

When I lose the way

Small light

Don’t go out on me

If I fall apart tonight

Who will hold you too?

Small light

Stay close to me

Be the reason

I remember how to be

Some days I’m not enough

Some days I’m scared I’ll break

And the thought of letting you down

Is what pulls me under the wave

But you’re here and you’re steady

Even when I’m not

So I borrow your calm

Till I find my own

Small light

Don’t go out on me

If I fall apart tonight

Who will hold you too?

Small light

Stay close to me

Be the reason

I remember how to be

I’m a house with flickering wires

You’re the lamp I keep alive

So we hold each other up

In the dark

Small light

Hold me through the night

Teach me how to stay

Small light

Don’t drift away

Be the reason

I'm okay.
