Whispering My Name

The night was raw and dripping cold Shadows clung like ghosts to every wall Windows cried their silent tears of glass Like lovers lost in some forgotten fall You waited on the velvet couch so still A painting caught in candlelight's cruel frame My hand inside the pocket held the steel It's frozen weight whispering my name The autumn chill seeped deep into my veins A shiver I could never quite control You sank before me, pleading on your knees At the feet of this elegant, broken soul You waited on the velvet couch so still A painting caught in candlelight's cruel frame My hand inside the pocket held the steel It's frozen weight whispering my name
