Velvet Cold

Lights dim, I arrive in silence
Every eye adjusts to mine
No rush, I move with patience
Power tastes better with time

I don't chase, I let them lean
Every breath bends in between
I don't speak unless I choose
Still, they listen when I move

I don't beg, I don't explain
I don't bleed, I don't complain
I wear calm like armor skin
Soft to touch, sharp within
I don't run, I don't hide
I decide who gets inside
Look too close, lose control
I move slow, velvet cold

Mirror smiles, it knows the truth
Grace is lethal when it's pure
Every step redraws the room
I don't threaten, I allure

No chaos, just design
Every line is by my hand
They call it fate, I call it mine
I don't ask, I command

I don't beg, I don't explain
I don't break, I don't strain
I wear silence like a crown
I don't fall, I shut it down
I don't give what I don't owe
I decide the pace and flow
Feel the chill behind the glow
I move slow, velvet cold

If they fear me
Good, they should
Fear is just respect misunderstood
I don't need a throne to reign
I don't need your love or pain

I don't bend, I don't plead
I don't hunger, I feed
Every look is bought and sold
I don't burn, I hold cold
Touch the edge, lose your role
Every step steals control
Say my name, feel the pull
I move slow, beautiful

Lights out
Stay still
I've already won
Before you feel
