Midnight Confessions

Midnight again. The room still hums with ghosts and

gin. Velvet smoke, slow decay. Dreams dissolve where shadows play.

Love's a lie whispered low. In the dark, we let it go.

And the band keeps playing. They always do, even when the night

is through. Drink to the night that won't fade away. Hearts in ruins

still learn to sway. Glass in hand, I fade from sight.

One more tune before the light. She sang like a confession.

And every note felt like sin. Velvet smoke, memories flame.
