Blink Again

[Intro – Slow Sway Pulse] (Low bass. Minimal percussion. Soft guitar shimmer. Room in the mix.)

Upper ledge's shadow

Cut across your face

Gaslit torch behind you

Leaves the slightest trace

Below, the current carries

Voices through the square

Someone steps between us

But you’re still standing there

You hold your posture steady

Like that makes it true.

Blink again.

Clear your eyes.

Let the bodies

Drift aside.

I didn’t run.

I stayed in sight.

Blink again.

This time decide.

You change your angle slightly

As if you meant to move

You let the distance shield you

Like distance is a proof

A door swings open briefly

A stairwell splits the frame

For half a breath we vanish

Then lock in place again

You weren’t prepared

For quiet.

If you close the space between us

Don’t mistake it for a fall.

I won’t falter.

I won’t freeze.

I won’t call.

Blink again.

Clear your eyes.

Let the noise

Fall behind.

I didn’t run.

I held my ground.

You felt it then —

You feel it now.

Blink again.

Take your time.

You know exactly

Why I’m still in sight.

Blink again.

Clear your eyes.

I’m still here —

For now.

Blink again.

Headlights flood the square.

Metal passes slow between us.

When it clears —

Nothing.

[Fade Out] (Bass pulse alone. Cut.)
