VEIL OF AMBER
By Vera Von Monika
Verse
A candle trembles in the silent room,
shadows curl along the walls.
Your silhouette lingers in the corners of my mind,
soft as smoke, sharp as winter air.
Fingers trace the edge of memory,
every whisper a fragile thread.
The night folds around me,
and I am lost between what is and what I fear.
Pre-Chorus
Time bends with the scent of you,
amber, rain, a fleeting trace.
I reach for echoes that vanish
before I can hold them close.
Chorus
Veil of amber, fall around me,
drape the night in your secret light.
Even as the world turns cold and empty,
I carry you, unseen, burning bright.
Verse
Footsteps echo on the empty street,
a melody only we remember.
Every corner holds your shadow,
every breath tastes of the past.
I speak in silence,
your name folded into the air.
The moon drifts between the city towers,
painting gold over our lost hours.
Pre-Chorus
Time bends with the scent of you,
amber, rain, a fleeting trace.
I reach for echoes that vanish
before I can hold them close.
Chorus
Veil of amber, fall around me,
drape the night in your secret light.
Even as the world turns cold and empty,
I carry you, unseen, burning bright.
Bridge
And in the quiet, I surrender
to the weight of your absence.
A shiver, a sigh, a memory
that burns softer than the dawn.
Final Chorus
Veil of amber, wrap me slowly,
cloak the night with all you are.
Even if I walk this world alone,
I carry your flame, a distant star.
Outro
The candle dies, the shadows fade,
but your fragrance remains, lingering
beyond the reach of time or reason.
