Beldam by Shikanu' ©Copyright 2026 Soft lights drifting through the haze, I’m lost inside this velvet maze. You speak so sweet, you draw me near, But your eyes are shadows, cold and clear. There’s a grace in every move you make, Like a quiet surface on a frozen lake. But when I reach for the spark inside, There’s only a place where you choose to hide. Never trust a soul that won't meet your gaze, Lost in a flicker, a hollow maze. Like a button sewn where the light should be, A locked-up door with a broken key. If the soul doesn't shine, if the fire is gone, There’s nothing to hold, nothing to lean on. They say the eyes are the mirror’s edge, A sacred bond, a silent pledge. But yours are clouded, turned away, Like a winter sky in shades of grey. Seduction is a dance of skin and bone, A beautiful song played all alone. But without the glow, without the spark, It’s just a whisper in the dark. Never trust a soul that won't meet your gaze, Lost in a flicker, a hollow maze. Like a button sewn where the light should be, A locked-up door with a broken key. If the soul doesn't shine, if the fire is gone, There’s nothing to hold, nothing to lean on. I wonder what’s buried beneath the veil, A secret ghost, a tragic tale. You dodge the beam, you dodge the true, There’s a wall of glass between me and you. Charm is a hunger, a fleeting heat, But without the vision, it’s incomplete. I fear the man who won't look back, For his inner sun has turned to black. Find the light before you leave, Give me something to believe. A vacant stare is a hollow cell, A story that you’ll never tell. Just buttons... No mirrors here, just buttons. The light is gone. I’m looking for your soul... but it’s not home.
