A suffocating softness,
you curl around the edges
of unspoken fears.
Thick as the night,
you slide through the cracks
of abandoned places,
sweet and bitter as regret.
Not warmth—
but the memory of it,
coated in ash,
velvet in its decay.
You carry the weight
of too many promises,
melting,
dissolving into shadows.
Mocha mousse,
you are the ghost of hunger,
the taste of sin wrapped in silk.
A quiet choke,
a tender ruin,
the way darkness seduces
with softness.
In your depths
lie the things we cannot speak—
the slow unraveling,
the sickly sweet pull
of wanting too much
and never enough.
