Silk threads stitch the gloom
Shuttling through my touch
Leather whispers secrets
Of a love misplaced
Glancing through the glass
Reflections twist and sway
Leaving me with echoes
Of a solitude that's gray
Neon puddles on my feet
Light refracted through the night
Pillows of luminescence
Disguising my plight
Step by step, I wander
Between the fire hydrants
Guided by the sirens
That pierce my wavering plans
Vaporous walls subside
Revealing a midnight sky
Glittering constellations
Emitting heavenly sighs
Through hollowed telephone poles
Voices call but can't relay
Whispers that dissolve in wind
Leaving me astray
Neon puddles on my feet
Light refracted through the night
Pillows of luminescence
Disguising my plight
Hand on metal, I ascend
Rungs creak and sway
A secret sanctum waits
Above the street's disdain
Cathedral of neon spires
Echoes of my footsteps rise
Guided by the soporific hum
Of a city in repose, it seems
Dissolving into the haze
A solitary figure melts away
Vanishing beneath the lights
Where lost souls often stray
