Velvet Surrender

Your words are a spell and I am yours to control

Every syllable slips like smoke through my bones

I trace the danger written under your tone

Like a secret I swore I’d never own

I step to the edge just to prove I’m strong

But gravity hums when you pull me along

Every warning sign flickers and fades

When your shadow dances across my veins

I try to run but your accent lures me back

Every vow I make dissolves into black

I know the fire, I know the fall

Still hear your whisper above it all

Your eyes see right through my soul

And you must know I’m begging for your attention

I crave your taste, I envy your touch

I want nothing more than to be consumed by you

Pull me deeper into your control

Where my resistance turns into confession

I lose my name when you say it slow

I want nothing more than to be consumed by you

You wear temptation like a tailored sin

Every glance feels like you’re letting me in

My pulse writes poems across your skin

While my better judgement caves within

You speak in promises dipped in night

Painting devotion in ultraviolet light

I tell myself that I’ll disappear

Yet I bloom whenever you draw me near

I try to breathe but you steal the air

Every escape route ends in your stare

I know the cost, I know the truth

Still trading daylight just to stand with you

Your eyes see right through my soul

And you must know I’m begging for your attention

I crave your taste, I envy your touch

I want nothing more than to be consumed by you

Pull me deeper into your control

Where my resistance turns into confession

I lose my name when you say it slow

I want nothing more than to be consumed by you

If this is ruin, let it fall like rain

Let it stain every promise I tried to contain

You turn my fear into velvet chains

And I wear them like a lover’s name

Every heartbeat signs your decree

Every silence pulls you from me

If surrender is where I’m meant to be

Then close the distance and swallow me

Your eyes see right through my soul

And you must know I’m begging for your attention

I crave your taste, I envy your touch

I want nothing more than to be consumed by you

Pull me deeper into your control

Where my resistance turns into confession

I lose my name when you say it slow

I want nothing more than to be consumed by you

Your words still linger under my skin

Like a vow I break just to feel again

If loving you is my sweetest undoing

Then I’ll stay spellbound… willingly ruined.
