13. Velvet Darling

Silk curtains, candle low Your shadow moving soft and slow Every word you never say Still lingers when you turn away Red wine stains on porcelain Sweet regret under my skin You hold me like you’re scared I’ll fall Like I’m breakable after all If love’s a room with velvet walls I get lost every time you call Velvet darling, hold me close Love me where it hurts the most Soft and deep, like late-night truth Velvet darling, it’s always you Velvet darling, don’t let go Every touch moves slow, real slow Say my name like a vow you keep Velvet darling, stay with me Midnight hums, your heartbeat near Every silence loud and clear You don’t promise, you don’t lie You just look me in the eye Cake-cut smiles, bittersweet Love so rich I barely breathe Every kiss feels warm and red Like words we never said You don’t rush, you don’t pretend You touch me like an open end Velvet darling, hold me close Love me where it hurts the most Soft and deep, like late-night truth Velvet darling, it’s always you Velvet darling, don’t let go Every touch moves slow, real slow Say my name like a vow you keep Velvet darling, stay with me If tomorrow fades to grey I’ll still taste you when you say Nothing lasts, but this right here Feels like something worth the fear Velvet darling, heart laid bare Every breath a quiet prayer An open harmony Wrap me up in all you are Velvet darling, don’t go far Soft lights. Red velvet nights.
