Black Silk Gravity

Описание: An AI musical performance of original lyrics by Martin Poole

[Prelude ]

Hush…
There’s a tremor in the velvet…
Did you feel it?

[I.]

You were the low flame in a locked cathedral,
Wax bending slow in the hollow air.
I mistook your glow for something endless,
Like night would always keep you there.

I walked in circles around your warmth,
Counting shadows on your skin.
Kissed the echo of your pulse
Instead of letting you in.

You thinned like smoke through lattice light,
A silver thread pulled tight—
And still I lingered in my own reflection,
Blind to your quiet flight.

[II.]

Your absence started as a whisper,
A colder fold of sheets at dawn.
A subtle shift in breathing—
Something sacred, almost gone.

You turned your face toward the window,
Moonlight carving bone from grace.
I reached for you in instinct—
But found a stranger in your place.

The room grew teeth.
The silence fed.
Regret uncoiled inside my head.

And suddenly—

I could feel the shape of what was leaving.

[III. (Suspended)]

You were never meant to orbit me.
You were a star, not gravity.

And I—
I built a shrine of mirrors
Where your light could not survive.

I loved the way you trembled near me.
I loved the way you stayed.
But love is not a shadow play
Where one dissolves and one is saved.

You were fading—
not loudly—
but like perfume in rain.

[IV.]

Now I kneel where pride once stood,
Hands empty, open, understood.

Not to cage you—
No—
But to feel the weight of you return by choice.

Let me be the dark that makes your glow visible.
Let me be the quiet your pulse can trust.

I don’t want to hold you captive—
I want to hold you conscious.

Press your forehead to mine—
Let the breath pass slow between us.
Let the silence soften instead of split.

If obsession was my language,
Let devotion be my tongue.

[V. (Rekindling)]

Come back not as possession—
But as flame against willing skin.

Let me unlearn the hunger that bruised you.
Let me relearn the rhythm of your name
As something sacred.

I will not circle you like a storm.
I will anchor.

I will not dim you to feel tall.
I will kneel in your brightness.

Because the world is not the world without you—
It is only walls and echo.

And I am finished loving echo.

[Coda ]

Stay…

Not because you are bound—
But because you choose the dark with me
And find it warm.
