Ebony Respite

[Verse 1]
Rain streaked the grand glass wall, a shifting tide,
As quiet settled in the velvet, deep inside.
Each polished surface held a thousand muted pleas,
Like ancient floorboards murmuring through tired trees.

[Chorus]
Just a flicker, a shared, unguarded space,
A transient cornerstone in this fleeting place.
Two unmoored echoes, caught in soft lamplight's grace,
A whispered respite, leaving no trace.

[Verse 2]
Your gaze, a rusted hinge, slowly unlatched my own,
A scaffold built of silence, where a seed was sown.
A quiet heroism in your posture, slightly bent,
Against the constant current, time had slowly lent.

[Chorus]
Just a flicker, a shared, unguarded space,
A transient cornerstone in this fleeting place.
Two unmoored echoes, caught in soft lamplight's grace,
A whispered respite, leaving no trace.

[Bridge]
The scent of damp earth, coffee blossoms in the mind,
For fleeting roots, a fragile sense we long to find.
This accidental shelter, in a city built on stone,
A quiet edifice, where for a moment, we're not alone.

[Outro]
Then silence settled back, a deep, slow, quiet rust,
A memory built to stand, on faith and tender trust.
