Velvet Air

Pillow light
Your hair like smoke
Fingers tracing
Words we never spoke

Glass Moon
On your skin so pale
Time feels slower
In your quiet spell

Your breath was like a radio
Tuned to the end of time

Velvet air
You pull me under
In your dream
I float like thunder
Say my name
Like it’s the last sound
Before you fall asleep

Curtains dance
To a ghost you kissed
Every silence
Feels like this

The ceiling turns
Like an endless reel
Of moments
I still try to feel

I watch you fade behind my eyes
In places sleep can’t hide

Velvet air
You pull me under
In your dream
I float like thunder
Say my name
Like it’s the last sound
Before you fall asleep

Velvet air
Velvet air
Just breathe me in
And I’ll be there
