Downpour

	your voice is going hollow when
	ever the night starts caving in
	the walls are growing thin
	but i think they'll hold
	at least another hour or so
	they'll keep off the onslaught
	they'll keep out the downpour
	can we ask for more?
	i'll find you something shiny
	to distract you from all that might ensue
	just keep it close to you
	but don't tell a soul
	goes double for your own, you know
	but when i go, i'm not gone
	i'm just too close for your eyes
	to focus on
