Velvet Blueprint

[Verse 1]
The light through the old pane, a brittle, fading sheen,
My tears traced blueprints, where silent grief had been.
Across the worn sill, a shadow softly stirred,
A feline architect, without a single word.
My roommate's cat, a detached, silent grace,
Found its strange scaffolding in this sorrowed space.

[Chorus]
This velvet blueprint, a quiet, shifting claim,
On foundations rebuilt, whispering your name.
Oh, silent keystone, in the morning's gleam,
You chart a new horizon, a resilient dream.

[Verse 2]
The weight of old narratives, a crumbling, weathered brick,
Stories unsaid, in my blood, too fast, too thick.
You offered no counsel, no inherited phrase,
Just a steady warmth, through these bewildering days.
A fragile scaffold, for my emotional decay,
Guiding the new structure, at the close of day.

[Bridge]
From Marseille's high windows, the mistral winds would sigh,
But here, a quiet purpose, beneath a vaulted sky.
No crumbling facade now, just sturdy, hopeful frames,
The sun through new glass, whispering forgotten names.

[Outro]
A small, furred echo, on the threshold of the light,
You build me back from shadows, into morning bright.
