Seraphine

Her coffee is black, her silence is a shield

A queen inside walls, with nothing left to yield

The world assumes she's whole, most days, it isn't wrong

But some nights cut deep, and solitude feels long

Some birthdays pass without a card

She smiles soft, but God, it's hard

Seraphine, don't settle for the dark

Scars become stars that light up hearts

The ink is dry on pages yet to read

So kiss and fail and rise, that's all that mortals need

The stars already know your name

Be still, my love, dark bows to flame

She built her armor young from boys who couldn't stay

Who promised her forever, then quietly walked away

Now caution guards her door, but hope won't leave her be

She keeps a candle burning, there's a face she's yet to see

She's aged her worth like darkest wine

But still they whisper, she's out of time

Seraphine, don't settle for the dark

Scars become stars that light up hearts

The ink is dry on pages yet to read

So kiss and fail and rise, that's all that mortals need

The stars already know your name

Be still, my love, dark bows to flame

Oh Seraphine

Let yourself be wrong, let yourself be scarred

Some roses bloom when winter's hard

Seraphine, you'll never walk in dark

Your scars become the stars that light your heart

The ink is dry on pages meant for you

So kiss, fail, rise, like all the mortals do

The stars are holding you a place

Be still, my love, grace finds grace

Seraphine

Your tears became perfume

And the lonely wrote this tune (wrote this tune)
