You came in like a whispered sin,

Golden eyes and a storm within.

Told me love was just a phase —

But I wore your words like lace.

You kissed like chaos,

Held me like prayer,

Left perfume and damage

Floating in the air...

And I knew better —

But I let you in.

Now I’m dancing with your shadow

Like I asked to bleed again.

You were venom and velvet,

Sweet and cruel.

A heartbreak artist

Playing me like a fool.

Tangled in your smoke,

I forgot who I was...

You called it love —

But it never was.

Midnight texts, blood-red wine,

You said forever, then changed your mind.

I saw the warnings, all in red —

But love looks different when it’s in your head.

Your lies were poetry,

Your touch was theft,

You gave me pieces

And kept the rest.

I wasn’t perfect,

But I was real.

You fed me fantasy

Just so I’d kneel.

You were venom and velvet,

Soft and mean.

Wrapped in gold

But laced with gasoline.

Lit me up, then let me burn,

Like love was just a game to learn.

I trace the scars, I play the song,

It’s been months, but it still feels wrong.

You haunt my mirror,

You live in my sleep —

You're the heartbreak

I chose to keep.

You were venom and velvet,

A beautiful mess.

Loved me dark

And called it blessed.

Now every kiss feels secondhand...

Since I let you hold my hand.

You were never love.

You were just a spell.

Venom and velvet...

and I wore it well.
