The Depths of the Nightime: A Poem

Because the great things in life, like the night time, are only temporary.

The Depths of the Nightime: A Poem

In the depths of the night time the things we see change and morph

Your wonders and dreams begin to take over

Things start to change in the depths of the night time

Have you ever stayed up and watched the stars?

I do all the time, whenever they are out

I admire them like watching a child walk for the first time

I watch them as if I have never seen them before

And as I look at them in awe and think to myself ‘what else is out there?’

What else is beyond us?

Do aliens exist, truly?

Are we the only living people in our world?

In the depths of the night time

The roads are empty and the owls and bats come out to play

These animals are so wonderful to hear when human existence almost seems extinct

You feel like you are the last one left

You wonder if people are awake

You wonder if people are sleeping

And you do this and think of everything you need to do the next day

Because the great things in life, like the night time, are only temporary

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
