He stands within the doorway... like a silent ghost... His eyes are dark and cold... a warning I should heed... I feel the pull of something wild... and untamed now... The evening air is thick... with secrets yet untold... A predator who waits... for shadows to grow long... I know the danger hiding... in his quiet smile... My pulse is racing... like a bird within a cage... One step toward him... feels like falling off a cliff... The city hums a low... and lonely melody... The clock strikes twelve... and echoes through the empty hall... His scent is leather... smoke... and something far more dark... I want to touch the burning flame... even if I fall... But fear is like a heavy chain... around my soul... He watches me... with patience... I cannot endure... The moon is high... and silver on the velvet floor... I see the scars he carries... from a life of sin... He is a storm... that breaks the things it loves the most... And yet I crave the chaos... that he brings to me... My hesitation... is a wall... that starts to crack... The sky begins to turn... a bruised and heavy blue... I cast away the doubt... that held me back so long... I run toward the room... where he was waiting still... My heart is open wide... and ready for the fall... I whisper out his name... into the cooling air... The door is open wide... but he is nowhere near... An empty glass... is all that lingers on the desk... The morning light... reveals a room of hollow ghosts... I waited far too long... to choose the path of flame... The sun arrives... to find me standing... all alone... I whisper out his name... The shadow's edge... The shadow's edge... The sun arrives... Alone...
