"The Meeting and the Spark"

In the shadow of a forbidden club,

Your eyes caught mine before the shots.

Chrome screaming, sweat on skin,

I pulled you from the trap, bodies too close, too soon.

Blood still running down my hands,

And you trembled but held my stare.

Not a word, just that heat,

Between two heartbeats, two scents.

Your quick breath tangled into mine,

Rain slid from your hair onto my hand.

The bass made the floor shake beneath our feet,

And I was already wondering what we’d dare risk.

"Here everything’s bought, everything’s sold,

But you… you’re not for sale."

I held my hand on yours too long,

Like the city had stopped just to take us.

Under acid rain,

We walk without a word,

My steps locked to yours,

Your shadow on my wet skin.

We don’t know where we’re going,

We just know we can’t lose each other,

And I swear… the night is watching us.

Megabuilding 8, your hands in the wires,

Your eyes in mine, silence feeds fires.

Nicotine dancing between your lips,

And I’m caught inside that slow eclipse.

Windows cry under fists of wind,

You laugh like before the fall of sin.

Your shoulder brushes in neon hue,

I almost trace it, but I don’t dare to.

Your shoulder brushes mine in the blue light,

And I stop myself from tracing it with my hand.

Every tick of the clock claws at the heavy air,

Like we’re waiting for the end to say love out loud.

The night before the run, you pulled me near,

"If you don’t come back tomorrow… I’ll keep you here."

But the city, the city never waits,

It opens doors… and it seals the gates.

"The Break and the Return"

I dropped from the grid, fell out of the stream,

Bullets for rain, and no waking dream.

Months in the dark, stitching my bones,

Searching your name in abandoned zones.

When I came back, Pacifica spat,

You stood behind smoke, wrapped in your chat.

Your voice was colder, your gaze the same,

A fragile spark in a colder flame.

Your hand shook when you set down my glass,

Your scent still cutting through months of smoke.

We spoke little, but every silence scraped,

Like your heart was pounding against my coat.

"You were dead… and you stayed dead to me."

But your hands trembled when I got close.

And I couldn’t step back,

Not after losing you once.

"The Mission"

We climbed the broker’s trail floor by floor,

Your back against mine in the storm.

Bullets passed, but I could hear you breathe,

Each breath a vow you’d never leave.

When all burned down and the code was gone,

You laughed, and I knew what we stood upon.

Your fingers brushed my neck in fire,

Eyes speaking all that mouths conspire.

Your fingers brushed my neck while you reloaded,

Your eyes saying all your mouth wouldn’t.

And in that chaos, we found our rhythm,

Like danger was fuel for the romance.

Under acid rain,

We run through the night,

Your fingers locked on mine,

Like it’s your life you’re holding.

We know what we’ve lost,

We know what we’ll break,

But in your eyes… I see all I can save.

"Union Before the End"

Westbrook at dusk, up on your roof,

You lay back and pull me to you.

The city screaming for us to run,

But I can’t walk away from your smile.

We talked of leaving, a far-off place,

And I almost believed in your embrace.

Your hand slid slow along my wrist,

And neon melted where our eyes kissed.

"The Interlude"

We danced in a BD club’s coded flame,

Bodies pressed in a shadowed frame.

Your hands held me like the night could fall,

One scream away from ending it all.

Heat from your breath burned at my skin,

Your hips a rhythm I’m drowning in.

Even if it’s dreamt, it feels too real,

And I don’t want to break the seal.

"The Final Run"

Before the corpo tower, you set my gear,

A long kiss tasting the storm’s frontier.

"If you don’t come back, then play this sound,

So the city can’t pull us underground."

I climb, I shoot, the city bleeds red,

The ground falls away, nothing ahead.

The tower collapses, the dream erased,

And I leave my trace in the neon waste.

Your name’s my last thought, your voice my last keep,

When it all goes dark, you’ll still have me deep.

Even at the end, I’ll remain your flame,

A ghost in the rain, still calling your name.

Under acid rain,

You stand so still,

My words in your ears,

My warmth in your wires.

We knew it would end,

But not like this, not tonight…

And in your eyes… I still live… in the rain.

On your rooftop, headset tight,

You start the track…

And I’m there…

Still there…
