Intro]

Whispered shadows breathe, smoke in the still

Time bends low, learning how to kneel

Breath caught heavy, a borrowed grace

Here’s where the dark learns my face

Fingers trace the air, shaking, slow

Every pause remembers what I don’t say

No need for noise when the silence knows

What I survived to stay

Light leaks thin through a broken seam

Unsaid words weigh more than sound

Hold this moment—don’t let it leave

Stillness is where I’m found

Open wide, the night runs deep

I expand inside the space I keep

I don’t chase the dawn or beg for light

I stand steady in a silent flight

Low strings hum like a barroom prayer

Unseen hands pull memory close

Layers drift like worn-out smoke

This quiet pays what pain still owes

Dark don’t bite, it teaches slow

A warm hand, a scarred embrace

I honor the night, I let it show

How patience learned my face

Open wide, the night runs deep

I expand inside the space I keep

I don’t chase the dawn or beg for light

I stand steady in a silent flight

Let the fracture learn to bloom

Every breath a rented room

No rush left, no mask to wear

Truth comes layered, stripped and bare

Silence stays, a sacred weight

Endurance bends but doesn’t break

In quiet strength, I rise, I mend

Breathing myself back again
