Velvet echoes in these faded places,
Plastic smiles on porcelain faces.
Whiskey tears in crystal glasses,
Dead-eyed queens and faded masses.
And it’s eerie, but oh, it’s sweet;
My dying dreams feel most complete.
Masking my hurt behind the glamour,
No more dawn and no forever.
Hard to voice, too numb to break,
I'm dancing in circles putting the F in ache…

Your tears, they fall like crystal rain
Each one a song of sweet despair
I trace the edges of your pain
And lose myself in shadows there

My baby, you're a dream undone
A broken hymn, a bleeding star
Still shining when the night is gone
Still beautiful, just as you are

Your scent, it haunts my every sigh
A ghost that clings to skin and bone
Your lips once red now whisper why
And leave me feeling more alone

I love the way you fade away
Like smoke that slips through grasping hands
A rose that wilts but dares to stay
Still blooming in the shifting lands

You're lost to time
But in my mind you linger, true
A tragic song, a dying rhyme
My darling, I'm here and still I worship you

Our eyes met that gloomy day,
And I immediately knew
It had been another time another place
I had always loved you

Lives we lived together
Spanning since the dawn of time
Energy of us tethered
Two souls intertwined.

Soulmates don't always work out as planned
Life gets in the way.
Things just aren't so grand
And our path isn't paved.

Is it wrong to crave a soul?
Is it wrong to lust for the past?
And to long for someone you've always known?
Wishing love forever lasts.

He said, “I'm no saint, but I drive real fast,”
She lit her smoke and let the moment last.
In a rusted Ford with a broken tune,
They chased the dusk, outran the moon.

She wore her rouge with vows to sin,
He kissed her hand and pulled her in.
Bank vault dreams and pistol pride,
Two shadows dancing, side by side.

The papers called them devil’s kin,
But hearts still swooned for the mess they’re in.
With every score, the red ran deep,
But love like that don’t come cheap.

The law caught wind, the trap was set,
One last kiss, one last heist was met.
They went to the dawn in a blaze of lead,
Young and wild, now cold and dead.

So pour one out for the stolen ride,
For the doomed romance they couldn’t hide.
Some love burns fast, some love runs dry;
Theirs bloomed just long enough to die.

Our eyes met that gloomy day,
And I immediately knew
It had been another time another place
I had always loved you

Lives we lived together
Spanning since the dawn of time
Energy of us tethered
Two souls intertwined.

Soulmates don't always work out as planned
Life gets in the way.
Things just aren't so grand
And our path isn't paved.

Is it wrong to crave a soul?
Is it wrong to lust for the past?
And to long for someone you've always known?
Wishing love forever lasts.

Karma's a revolver with a cherry red smile,
dancing in the dark like a ghost gone wild.
She waits under the cloak of stormy skies,
with a perfume of gunpowder, secrets, and lies.
Every sin's a bullet tucked into her dress,
Tell me, are you sure you want to place your bets?
Spinning the chamber with slow caress,
every choice calculated under your duress.
Humming sweet lullabies in the back of your mind,
she's satin and danger, all intertwined.
Pulling the trigger with a wink and a sigh,
you thought you were wanted, but you're just the high.
Ask yourself before you begin:
Can you stomach the cost of the chaos within?
She plays to collect, and so far has yet to miss a debt.
Do you really want to tempt Karma when she's actually Russian roulette?

Beneath the moon's soft, stolen glow,
Whispers thread the air, low and slow.
A touch, a breath, a fleeting glance,
In shadows deep, we find our dance.

The stars stand guard, their light a veil,
Letting passion speak where our hearts prevail.
The world's asleep, yet we're awake,
In secrets shared, in love's embrace.

The moon, our witness, silent and wise,
Conceals the truth behind its skies.
Its silver beams trace every move,
A silent ally, sworn to prove.

Among the galaxies, we slip through time,
Two comets lost in love’s old rhyme.
In moonlight's hold, we choose to stay,
Two souls astray, yet led love's way.

When dawn arrives, we'll fade from view,
The moon will guard what we once knew;
A secret kept in whispered rhyme,
A moonlit alibi, frozen in time.

You touched my hand in ocean air,
The boardwalk hummed a sultry tune.
With cherry lips and windswept hair,
We danced beneath a silver moon.

We soared down coastal roads,
Chasing the stars, kissing the sky
Love bloomed in secret, sweet and bold,
Then faded fast like summer nights in July.

The sunset burned, the tide grew cold,
You whispered dreams, then slipped away.
Now memories, like dust and gold,
Still haunt the heat of yesterday.

Love once hummed in perfect tune,
A symphony beneath the moon,
Each heartbeat a scar we couldn't mend
like a melody we softly bled.

But silence crept through shifting skies,
Like violins with broken cries,
The notes we knew dissolved in mist,
A phantom of songs we once had kissed.

Now every chord is out of place,
Each rhythm stumbles, lost in space,
The lyrics fall like brittle leaves,
A ballad bruised by make-believe.

Where harmony once wrapped us tight,
Only aching echoes ring in the night,
our love, a song without its core,
Drifts unheard forevermore.

Skies turn gray, but I don't mind
it's matched my mood for quite some time.
The rain taps the window like a soft lullaby,
I close my eyes and let it lie.

I pour my tears into a glass,
a toast to the things that didn't last.
The love, the laughs, the perfect plans
Slipped like water through my hands.

Let the kingdoms fade like perfume in the rain,
weren't they just illusions anyway?
I wore the crown, I played the part,
Now all I want is a softer heart.

So I wrap my hurt in velvet threads,
Tuck it beneath my tangled head.
And maybe when I wake someday,
the pain will have flown away.

'Cause even sorrow's got a song,
and darkness doesn't stay long.
The sun still kisses the morning dew
And I'll dream my way back to you.

You think it’s magic,
like I was born with glitter in my veins,
You chase the shine,
but darling, envy leaves a darker stain.

Your life's a script with no direction,
a plotless play, a sad distraction.
You sneer at me from shadowed seats,
but I’m the show; the main attraction.

The lights adore me,
my heels are power on this stage,
While you sit there bitter,
burning with a secondhand rage.

You crave the crown,
but couldn’t stand the weight,
So here you pout,
a hater dressed in stolen fate.

Applause rains down like sweet seduction,
while you dissolve in self-destruction.
Watching from the balcony tonight
you’ll never reach this kind of high.

Attachment wraps like cold steel,
A binding touch that feels unreal.
Cuffed wrists, a silent plea,
Am I the prisoner or set free?

The key is lost, or never found,
Caught between love’s silent sound.
Am I the captive or the key?
In this locked dance, who holds me?

A kiss like metal, sharp and deep,
A promise made, a secret to keep.
Are we bound, or do we break?
In your hold, is it love or just fate?

Behind the glass, I wear my crown,
frozen twirls in plastic grace.
Blue lips smile as I spin around,
with glittery flakes upon my face.

They twist the key to make me spin,
my dance begins, then fades to slow.
A hollow waltz I float within,
beneath the pale and falling snow.

A vinyl tune begins to play,
a haunted hum that chills the bone.
Its notes drift through a world of gray,
unheard by hearts long turned to stone.

I waltz beneath a shattered moon,
each step a dream that’s slipped away.
A brittle dance to a broken tune,
with memories that never stay.

I wear my fate like silk and lace,
where loneliness and ache entwine.
A hollow smile on a porcelain face,
my ballgown trapped in frozen time.

Sadness lingers, soft and bold,
in silence where no stars explode.
A tragedy spun in winter’s cold;
a girl trapped in a ******* snow globe.

The past was riddled with solitude,
I woke up in lace, like an old movie scene.
Now morning hums in a honeyed mood,
Last night you treated me like a queen.

The sky was heavy just before,
in shades of black and blue.
Now the storms don't come anymore,
Since all I see is you.

The night once sang in minor keys,
and every hour felt like pain.
Now even silence seems to please,
As I hear your voice in the rain.

There's color where the gray once stayed,
a bloom where I had only thorns.
The price of love was what I paid,
and in return the world was yours.

Since then I live in softer light,
A dreamscape soaked in vintage hue.
Our romance has set the world alight
What's changed? Babe, just me and you.

Love was an hourglass, steady and bright,
Each promise a grain in the softening light.
We watched as the moments began to slip,
A fleeting dream from your trembling lips.

Each grain was a hope, a word we had shared,
A promise to hold, a love we declared.
But time, like a thief, took what we knew,
All the sands fell out and so did you.

You held the base, I grasped the top,
Fingers trembling, unable to stop.
The glass began to crack and break,
And with it, our love began to ache.

The sands of our heart scattered wide,
No longer a rhythm, no longer a guide.
Each grain a reminder of what once was,
Now dust in the air, with no reason or cause.

And in the end all that’s left to see,
Are shards of what we used to be.
The hourglass shattered, the promises gone,
Just dust in the air and a love withdrawn.

The mind is a haunted house draped in lace,
With perfume ghosts and a cracked mirror face.
Creaking doors lead to rooms of regret,
Where old love letters are damp with sweat.

In the attic, dreams hang like gowns,
Sequins and shadows in delicate frowns.
I slow dance with memory, dressed in a night,
A flash, one moment and then I say goodbye.

Down in the dark where the secrets sleep,
I hum lullabies that still make me weep.
So if you knock, come in gentle and slow
Not every locked door has something you want to know.

We move like glaciers, slow and still,
A love that wears the earth away,
With ancient strength, it bends the will,
And carves the stone where shadows lay.

Through frozen winds, it makes its path,
A force that never sways,
It leaves no trace, but holds the wrath,
Of centuries that never fade.

Beneath the ice, it hides so deep,
Preserving what the world can’t see,
With frozen hearts together we softly sleep,
wrapped up in a love as endless as the sea.

You and I, we’re carved in ice,
It may be cold, but still, it’s true
A love that’s frozen, pure, precise,
Oh, our glacier love, it’s made for me and you.

A vintage dress and lips of red,
under the moonlight drawing me in,
songs of fire, shadows, and sin
dance for the living and mourn for the dead.

The autumn air, it bites and chills
the night's a stage the graveyard's still
Your whisper of my name, a soft regret
A love song for me playing on your lips

A spell is cast with blood and bloom
the scent of roses fills the tomb
with flowers growing in my hands
and my fractured faults here I stand.

Your voice still lingers, a hollow sigh
you said you'd stay, but ghosts don't lie
Forever bound to October skies,
where the dead don't sleep and my love never dies.

Hung from the moon where the city can't see
with lipstick smudged secrets you left all over me.
If silence is golden, then let it be mine.
I'll carry your touch through to the edges of time.

Thunder and lace and smoke curls in my hair,
you loved me like danger and vanished like air.
But I'd dance through the forever for you feeling so brave,
if only you'd whisper my name like I'm something to save.

If love is a drug then I'll take the dose
Let it burn through my blood, let it bring me close.
You watched as I opened, a flower in bloom,
like a song with no ending in a candlelit room.

And I'd do it again, to bring us into play
Just to taste your dangerous goodbye
like a moth to the flame.

You live in the distance where day loses name,
Where the ocean forgets who it’s trying to blame.
I loved you like longing, like dusk loves the sea,
Like the girl in the doorway you swore you would be.

You were velvet and static, a half-finished song,
Beautiful, broken, and gone far too long.
I traced you through dark times and through smoke-colored skies,
Through motel confessions and television lies.

I begged you to anchor, to stay in the light,
But your heart beat in shadows, in cold neon nights.
You kissed like the promise of something brand new,
But vanished each time that I got close to you.

And loving you felt like chasing the line
Where the heavens get drunk and forget how to shine.
You live in the place I can never quite reach;
Where the tide pulls back and the sirens preach.

So I dress in my silence, in roses and blue,
Staring out past the world, still waiting for you.
But the truth is a shore that I can't step across...
The horizon won’t hold me, and for now you're lost.

Love is fire, sharp and brief
wild roads whisper, where shadows meet.
This summer spell is a dream we made
My heart calls out, your soul to claim

Let's slow dance to broken songs,
twisting in shadows where we belong
With a melody only bodies can create
is it lust, or love, or some wild fate?

We'll talk til the stars no longer shine bright
writing our story in the heart of the night
Hearts adrift in a fragile dream
Wrapped up in a moment that just seems like a scene

Your eyes like mirrors of endless days
holding me still in their golden haze.
A love too fleeting to name at all
Comes to an end at the beginning of fall.

The rain whispers secrets on the glass,
Telling me stories from our love gone past.
I stare far off and let the tears roll down my face,
Wishing the storm would wash away your name.

I’m asking now, don’t you think it’s cruel?
You stole my heart like some beautiful jewel.
You ran away and you didn’t care
Now I’m alone here dressed in silk and despair.

You said you needed some place new
But you took my heart in your vintage shoes.
Now I’m listening to the rain, soft and slow
Like the score to a black and white show.

I’ve been dancing with a ghost of you
Begging the storm to let me drown in the gloom
You were the only song I ever believed
Now you’ve gone to chase a bygone dream

I’m begging the rain to drop your name on every rose
And telling the moon to hold you close
Begging you to feel the ache we used to know
Hoping a flood of love again grows.

There’s a garden gate behind my ribs,
Where trembling wings perform their fibs.
A thousand hearts in frantic flight,
Beating storms through sleepless nights.

Their feathers flicker, burning gold,
Hummingbirds filling me with lies as told.
Each flutter fans a shadowed flame,
Of whispered guilt and breathless blame.

Sugared air turns thick with grief,
Their tiny bodies beg relief,
But every time I try to breathe,
They scatter; won’t let me believe.

Glass and honey, blood and bloom,
Their chaos swells to fill the room.
And all I do is wear a smile,
While dying softly all the while.

I fold my dreams into corners of cotton,
lying alone in perfume stained sheets.
The night hums low, like a record forgotten,
playing your name on repeat.

Love was a crane I tried to fashion
from motel linens and lullaby lies
but paper hearts don't beat with passion
and are torn apart without goodbyes.

You held me like a secret stanza,
lips inked with things you wouldn't say.
Each kiss a promise in italics,
each embrace in soft decay.

We were origami, darling;
beautiful, but each fold unraveled in the end.
I search for you in the creases of craving,
In pursuit of our love again.

The battle in my mind rages loud
and on the outside I'm calm,
but really there's no one around
and so into depression I fall

the silence is eerie where I sit,
in limbo with the love and hate
one side so deserving of one to commit
the other longing for a dreadful fate

there is nothing left to be done or said
no words to help heal the heart
when you live a life at war with yourself
and call your chaos an art

The weight of the void pulls me deep,
a temptation I can’t seem to outlast.
The only solace I find is in sleep
bound by the nightmares of my past.

The battle in my mind rages loud
and on the outside I'm calm,
but really there's no one around
and so into depression I fall

the silence is eerie where I sit,
in limbo with the love and hate
one side so deserving of one to commit
the other longing for a dreadful fate

there is nothing left to be done or said
no words to help heal the heart
when you live a life at war with yourself
and call your chaos an art

The weight of the void pulls me deep,
a temptation I can’t seem to outlast.
The only solace I find is in sleep
bound by the nightmares of my past.

His blow fell soft, like love’s deceit,
A kiss disguised in cruel repeat.
The bruise bloomed slow, a violet kiss,
A ghost of touch I dared not miss.
He held me close, then pulled away,
A pendulum of night and day.
He spoke in petals, struck in thorns,
Left warmth inside the coldest scorn.
He broke me gently, piece by piece,
Each crack a vow, a promise he wouldn't keep.
But love was fire I couldn't tame,
So still I stayed and took the flame.

When everything is loud the mind goes silent
but never in the way one would like it
The race is so overwhelming it's now just a hum
The hands are steady but the mind grows numb
Eager to please unsteady to rise
Constant exhaustion from boundaries pushed aside.
Anger held down suppressed in the void
Feelings inundate set up to destroy.

I wear my face like painted glass,
A porcelain mask they let me pass.
Smiles stitched with silent grace,
No one sees the hurt in my face.

Rouged my cheeks to hide the cracks,
Polished lies and quiet acts.
Beauty’s just a veil, it seems,
Thin as breath and lost in dreams.

Behind the shine, I want to scream,
But silence keeps the world in theme.
So I perform, composed, serene,
A haunted girl in a pretty scene.

You wore soft silk and sugared lies,
A whisper wrapped in alibis.
But I saw hunger in your grace,
A wild thing with a porcelain face.

You moved like smoke beneath the moon,
A dream turned to ruins so soon.
They watched you smile, they sang your name,
But I could feel the claws through fame.

A wolf in wool, so sweet, so sly,
Wrapped in a melancholic lullaby.
You hid your fangs in a kiss,
And led me blind through every twist.

I thought your love was pure gold,
But underneath, it burned ice cold.
The way you laughed, the way you lied;
Finding a fairytale where truth had died.

You played it cool, you played it neat,
A ticking heart beneath the beat.
And now I wear the scars you've sewn,
A lamb, the one who should have known.

I don’t know why I didn’t see,
The monster hidden in my sheets.
You wore the fleece, but I saw through;
The only beast inside here was you.

This is your life, love; ending minute by minute,
A cigarette's kiss with no fire left in it.
You bloom like a rosebud in the Hollywood haze,
Chasing forever through borrowed bouquets.

Time slips its hands round your soft throat,
Beautiful as the lies in a suicide note.
You dance in the dark with memories you once knew,
Life is fleeting and darling, so are you.

Golden and gone in the blink of an eye,
Perfume lingers with your half-written cry.
You wanted to burn, just not flicker and fade,
But the stars never weep for the mess that they made.

Of all of the hearts that you tried to outrun,
None of them stayed to see you undone.
So sip on your sorrow, it’s vintage and blue;
This is your life, and it’s leaving you too.

There’s a tidepool behind my heart,
small and silver in the evening's breath.
Not deep, but torn in every part
holding you close, keeping your death.

A cracked ring lies in the brine,
still warm with what we never said.
A memory flickers, out of time,
like candlelight around the bed.

***** click like clocks inside my chest,
marking hours I can’t reclaim.
Anemones bloom with soft unrest,
each one uncurling saying your name.

The tide recedes but leaves it all—
your cologne, your smirk, a Polaroid of our crowd.
A sea-star clings against the wall,
where everything we built has fallen down.

No current comes to pull it free,
this shallow grave of silent songs.
But I return religiously,
to worship where your ghost belongs.

So yeah,
the moon looks on forever marred,
but this is where I rot instead.
In the tidepool of a love too hard,
where nothing lives, but nothing's dead.

Her kisses were loaded dice,
Each touch a wager, tossed in the air,
A chance to lose, a chance to slice,
To see if love was truly there.

She hummed her lines like lullabies,
But in her gaze the trap was laid,
A bluff concealed in velvet lies,
Where every wager bled and paid.

With every kiss, a coin was spent,
Her smile, a mask of sweet deceit,
She’d deal the cards, her heart unbent,
And leave you scrambling at her feet.

She played the odds, she took her turn,
Each moment etched in faint disguise,
But in the loss, you’d always yearn,
For more of her endless lies.

I wear a smile and play the part
Hide the storm inside my heart.
As long as you don't meet my gaze,
You'll never see I'm lost in a haze.
Racing forward, standing still.
Waiting games are breaking my will.
Hours blur and chaos stays
While spinning through these endless days.
Too much to do, too much to lose,
I'm drowning in the wish for new.

I wore a veil under the shroud of night,
Laced in stars and candlelight.
Perfume thick with sins I crave,
Picking flowers for my grave.

Lust bloomed first in crimson wine,
Dripping down lips that once were mine.
Gluttony, a sugared rose,
Fed me dreams of overdose.

Greed grew gold on every stem,
But nothing's ever enough for them.
Sloth laid lilacs on my chest:
Soft and slow, so I took my rest.

Wrath was thorns beneath my lace,
Love turned bitter, sweetness erased.
Envy wrapped in ivy vines,
Choked the breath from me, blurring the lines.

And Pride, that peacock-colored bloom,
Adorned me for my walk to doom.
With every petal, every sigh,
I walked the aisle and said my goodbyes.

A bouquet bound with satin thread,
For vows I whispered to the dead.
And as the bells softly weep for my demise
I smiled and remind, "Death will be my bride."

The needle drops like rain at night,
Soft hiss, then suffering takes its flight
Your voice a ghost in satin sound,
Still sings the lie that brought me down.

It spins around, so bittersweet,
Sounds of idolatry on every beat,
Same chorus clings like cigarette ash,
Your same old promise, the same old crash.

In candlelit noir, I play pretend,
and darling this track just won’t end
Just vinyl tears and minor chords,
Your love is a loop of empty words.

“You’ll never be alone,” you said
But baby, that skip plays loud instead.
A line that lingers, carved in pain,
Are like desires that lurk in the rain.

You were the song I always craved,
I was the silence you couldn’t save.
Now every dusk, I press rewind,
And bleed your echo from my mind.

Same song, same skip,
Playing over in essence
And that lyric still haunts me,
Like a fingerprint on all my affections.

A grainy film, in shades of gray,
Where shadows dance and lovers sway.
The air is thick with smoke and sin,
As midnight calls, we both give in.

You looked at me with reckless eyes,
Like secrets hidden in the skies.
A kiss, a whisper, soft and slow,
But underneath, we both should know.

We laughed beneath a starless sky,
Where silver ghosts and dreams had died.
The frame was cracked, the focus blurred,
Yet in the silence, truth was stirred.

The reel spins fast, the cuts too sharp,
A promise lost in shadows' arc.
The aperture of love had closed,
Exposing all we never chose.

But then you turned, the truth was clear,
A plot twist I had always feared.
In the black-and-white, our colors bled,
Now I’m the one left lost instead.

The credits roll, but you're not here,
A fade to black, I disappear.
The film is over, all that's left,
Is me alone with love's regret.

I wake to find the morning light,
yet everything’s the same.
I can’t explain, I’ll never know
Why life goes on through the pain.

The shadows in my doorway,
the steps I swore I heard last night,
My world is gone can't count the tears
I've cried in this new life.

The clock still ticks and the world still spins,
And there's an ache that time won’t quiet,
echoes of love lives on in my head
I'm supposed to go on but I don't know how to do it.

Our desires were chalk lines and strawberry wine,
A beautiful disaster lost somewhere in time.
Yellow tape fluttered where promises bled,
Broken glass glimmered like the words left unsaid.

Lipstick stained bottles tipped over the past,
Your hands left their mark, and Gods, did they last.
Velvet night violence hits sweetly under covers,
Choking the life out like an aggravated lover.

I wore my heartbreak like a diamond-cut jewels,
Dancing through wreckage addicted to you; like a fool.
You left me for dead in the heat of your crime;
But darling, destruction was truly sublime.

I wear a smile and play the part
Hide the storm inside my heart.
As long as you don't meet my gaze,
You'll never see I'm lost in a haze.
Racing forward, standing still.
Waiting games are breaking my will.
Hours blur and chaos stays
While spinning through these endless days.
Too much to do, too much to lose,
I'm drowning in the wish for new.

Velvet drapes of indigo hue,
hid the wreckage staged by you.
Golden spotlights, heavy lies,
Scripted kisses and practiced sighs.

The balcony held ghostly cheers
Haunted by memories of yester-year.
Your love, a scene of sweet deceit,
A rose left dying at my feet.

Final bow with trembling grace,
The curtains fall and so does my face.
Applause rang out; our final run,
Curtains drawn, and hearts undone.

We just keep moving, like clouds on parade,
Silk in the breeze, then we slowly fade.
Life keeps turning, the records still play,
But my heart’s stuck in that old café.

It felt so good, it still feels right;
Two shadows dancing in the neon light.
We’re not together, but love still stays,
Haunting my lips in a thousand ways.

I still wear your name like a perfume trail,
Whispers sweet like a mourning gale.
Your ghost shows up when the moon is high,
Speaking your truth through supple lies.

They say love’s forever or it fades away,
But I’m still hoping you’ll call someday.
It hurts, it burns, but I won’t let go;
Some loves just linger, like fallen snow.

It starts with an itch beneath the skin,
silence breaking deep within.
No warning alarm, no dying hymns
just pressure building at the brim.

My past hangs heavy, rough and tight,
a suit of scale that dims the light.
But growth is cruel; it splits, it rips,
and leaves you naked to your tips.

I scrape along the jagged stone,
each twist a crack, each breath my own.
rendering a new me with changes inside,
the façade I wore, my pains died.

While I'm raw in this new guise,
I'm rising with sharper, clearer eyes.
For loss is gain when change begins,
like a serpent I'm freed from dying within.
