Moonskin

You walked in slow, like a dream underwater
(She moves like smoke through the doorway)
Silk on your skin, and stars on your shoulder
(I held my breath when you looked my way)
The room forgot how to breathe for a while
Your fingertips tracing comets down my spine

Don't speak
Just feel

You wore the night like a second skin
(Moonskin, soft as sin)
I let you in, under my ribs
(Where no one's ever been)
Your name, a breath I never said
(But whispered into every thread)

You lit a candle, but left the room dim
(So I'd find you by warmth, not by light)
Your hair falling down like a velvet hymn
(And time slowed down just right)
We moved like planets drifting close
Until we touched, and then almost froze

Are you real?
Does it matter?

You wore the night like a second skin
(Moonskin, soft as sin)
You melted slow into my breath
(I never asked what comes next)
Your voice still lingers in my bed
(A ghost I dream but can't forget)

Stay
I'm already gone
Then haunt me
I always do

Moonskin
Soft as sin
Gone like night
Still under my skin
