Pretty Versions

We frame it soft in golden light Edit out the restless nights Turn the silence into grace Blur the lines we’re scared to face We rehearse what love should be In perfect symmetry But underneath the polished tone There’s something we don’t show Say it gently, say it sweet Keep it easy, keep it clean We make it pretty We make it small Cut out the corners Sand down the fall We call it love But it’s paper-thin A safer version We’re living in Every truth gets watered down Till it barely makes a sound Every crack we try to hide Echoes louder deep inside We trade the weight for something light A softer, quieter rewrite But every word we leave unsaid Still lingers in our chest Say it gently, say it sweet Never let it get too deep We make it pretty We make it small Cut out the corners Sand down the fall We call it love But it’s paper-thin A safer version We’re living in No music, no disguise Just truth without the light If it doesn’t break you open Was it ever real? If it doesn’t leave you shaking Did you even feel? Now the sound comes rushing back Layered over every crack Harmony on fragile lines Trying to make sense of why We made it pretty We made it small But something honest Outlived it all And in the silence I hear it clear The truth we buried Still ringing here © Aurorian Silver Moon 2026.
