In the shadows where the velvet rain falls,
Flickering lights play tricks on my walls,
They dance like secrets in the depths of night,
Whispered truths echo, taking flight.
Collapsing stars spill their tears on the ground,
In the stillness of dreams where lost hope is found,
Drifting silence carries the weight of our fears,
Painting the canvas with invisible tears.
Moments linger like a ghost in the breeze,
Moments taken, lost in forgotten pleas,
With every heartbeat, I grasp at the air,
Searching for hints of what once lingered there.
Is there solace in the fading embrace?
In the silence between, we find our own grace,
Yet the flickering lights pull me deeper inside,
Into the maze where emotions collide.
The velvet rain wraps me tight in its shroud,
A sanctuary formed of shadows and cloud,
Though collapsing stars shatter dreams into dust,
I'll gather the fragments, for hope I must trust.
So I'll dance through the night with the whispers of fate,
In the silence, I’ll learn to navigate,
With flickering lights guiding me home from afar,
I'll reach for the exit, beneath the collapsing stars.
And when dawn breaks, painting skies with its hue,
I'll close my eyes, knowing I’ve found something true,
In the velvet rain, I watched shadows unwind,
The whispered truths leading me back to the kind.
