In the twilight of harsh day The melancholy sinks into silence. The chill, the grey. Neither dark nor light. We cast no shadows, Leave no marks. Our secrets are as safe As our silhouettes that are, For now, unseen. The flame we wish to start Only smolders, Not yet ready to brighten Our darkened corners Our guarded eyes. We are free, for moments, To feel our sharpest memories. To bleed in peace. In the twilight, Our pain is safe.

Twilight Reprieve
In the twilight of harsh day The melancholy sinks into silence. The chill, the grey. Neither dark nor light. We cast no shadows, Leave no marks. Our secrets are as safe As our silhouettes that are, For now, unseen. The flame we wish to start Only smolders, Not yet ready to brighten Our darkened corners Our guarded eyes. We are free, for moments, To feel our sharpest memories. To bleed in peace. In the twilight, Our pain is safe.
