MIDNIGHT IN VELVET

In blue midnight she wore deep purple velvet, a crown of thorns in silk,  
To meet her love where moonlight cut the dark like broken glass.  
Love whispered in the ocean of fear, a tide that pulled and broke,  
Two shadows danced while the night held its breath, alas.  
Soulmates split by a black hole of sorrow, stars swallowed whole,  
Tears fell like rain on velvet, drowning every silent vow.  
A single shoe left lost behind, a fit that cruel time stole,  
Before we turned to golden ashes, we sang our last song now.
