A crackle in the hallway, a soft and rhythmic hum He watches from the balcony as the morning shadows come There she stands in sunlight, with her hand in Vaggie’s grip A secret sigh of longing starts to tremble on his lip He adjusts his crimson bowtie, his grin a jagged line Accepting that her radiance was never meant to shine On him in quiet corners or in dreams of something more Yet he finds a strange contentment through the cracking of the door For her laugh is like a broadcast, clear and soaring high A melody that colors all the grayness of his sky If her heart is full of fire, if her soul is free of fear Then the static in his spirit finds a reason to be clear It’s a bittersweet performance, a solo in the dark To love the glowing ember while another fans the spark He’ll be her loyal shadow, the demon in the wings Finding joy within the music that her happy spirit sings A gentleman’s devotion, wrapped in velvet and in pride With a world of hidden sorrow tucked away deep down inside He tips his hat in silence to the love he cannot share Happy just to breathe the same redeemed and holy air

A Gentleman's BitterSweet Joy (A sequel to The Deers Silent Frequency)
In the shadows of the lobby, where the radio static hums He watches as the princess smiles before the morning comes A deer with silver secrets and a grin that’s carved in bone He thought he’d found a rhythm he could finally call his own He adores her golden spirit, how she dares to dream of light A flicker in the darkness of an everlasting night But the air grows thick with silence, and the dials begin to spin As the "Radio Demon" feels a coldness deep within For there stands the soldier, with her spear and guarded heart The one who holds the pieces Alastor cannot pull apart He sees them in the parlor, hands entwined and voices low A gentle warmth he cannot mimic, a flame he'll never know The static crackles sharper as her laughter fills the air Directed at another while he stands a phantom there His shadow claws the floorboards, a dark and jagged thing Torn by the quiet symphony that only two can sing He tilts his head and chuckles, for the show must still go on But the melody is bitter now that Charlie’s heart is gone A master of the broadcast, yet he’s losing every beat Watching paradise flourish while he tastes his own defeat

The Deers Silent Frequency
A static hum behind the door A shadow dancing on the floor The Princess and the Radio King Drawn by a dark and secret thing Behind the gaze of watchful eyes Where Vaggie’s silver spear-point lies They share a look, a lingering spark A flicker glowing in the dark She finds a thrill in velvet grit His wicked laugh, his jagged wit And he, who claims to feel no heart Is pulled by light and torn apart A hand upon a crimson sleeve A web of trust they quietly weave Away from judgment, sharp and stern Where embers of a secret burn In corners where the lights grow dim She finds herself reaching for him And Alastor, with toothy grin Invites the chaos, lets her in They hide the warmth, they play the part A hollow beat for a lonely heart While Vaggie guards the hotel gates Unaware of shifting fates A whispered word, a brush of skin The place where saint and sin begin Two forces bound, a strange delight Beneath the radar of the night Trading smiles they shouldn’t share A heavy tension in the air The Radio Demon and the Star Loving from a distance, yet so far
