Emerald Eyes in the Shadows

(Verse 1)

The rain streaks down the windowpane,

a blurry film across the night.

Another sleepless hour again,

waiting for the pale moonlight.

He promised he'd return at dawn,

left only whispers in the air,

a single stocking, carelessly drawn,

and the scent of his cologne, a lingering snare.

(Chorus)

Emerald eyes in the shadows, where did you go?

Long blonde hair, a phantom, soft as the snow.

Secrets whispered, promises broken, a twisted game,

His absence echoes, a haunting refrain.

(Verse 2)

I trace the outline of his face,

on the pillow where he used to lie.

The empty space, a hollow place,

a constant ache beneath my eye.

The ticking clock, a mocking beat,

each second stretching into years.

I search for clues, both bitter and sweet,

drowning in the tide of unspoken fears.

(Chorus)

Emerald eyes in the shadows, where did you go?

Long blonde hair, a phantom, soft as the snow.

Secrets whispered, promises broken, a twisted game,

His absence echoes, a haunting refrain.

(Bridge)

Was it the touch of his hand on my skin?

The stolen glances, his captivating grin?

Or something darker lurking below?

A secret hidden, only he could know.

(Chorus)

Emerald eyes in the shadows, where did you go?

Long blonde hair, a phantom, soft as the snow.

Secrets whispered, promises broken, a twisted game,

His absence echoes, a haunting refrain.

(Outro)

The city sighs, a lonely sound,

the mystery deepens with the night.

His memory lingers, earthbound,

an emerald flame, burning ever so bright.
