Shadow Silk

[Verse 1]
Three dawns since you walked through the sliding pane,
Still your scent, a dark dye, on my collar's vein.
A phantom warmth, a whisper on the worn-out seam,
A silent promise woven, like a waking dream.

[Chorus]
Oh, this shadow silk, a pattern I can't undo,
Your phantom weave, still clinging, deep and true.
A breath held tight, a secret I embrace,
In this quiet ache, I find your lingering grace.

[Verse 2]
The damp earth breathes, beyond the bamboo screen,
But your essence holds a truth I haven't seen.
Each subtle shift, a thread of what we knew,
A silent leaf unfurling, shadowed by you.

[Bridge]
It's a strange tapestry, this quiet hold,
A story yet unfinished, brave and bold.
Let the velvet dark entwine, a bittersweet design,
This phantom touch, irrevocably mine.

[Outro]
Still clinging, deep and true... irrevocably mine...
