LIGHTS ON

AI generated music.  Not serious, only for fun. Warm light through the kitchen glass Rain runs slow down river black One deep breath, the flat alive I hear the pulse beneath the quiet Blue lights washed across the hallway Mum and Dad lying still, I’m alone Paper cups and silence after My first night without a home Cold grey walls and holding silence Counting cracks to pass the storm Then a Ghost stood there beside me And I saw the shape of something warm New name written in the fire Old life fading from the screen Still the pulse kept moving through me I was more than what they’d seen Lights on  through the prism afterglow Every broken colour leads me home No distance left between our hearts One beam burning when we move as one Lights on  no fear, no retreat Every lost heartbeat comes back to me Forward motion burning strong I’m still here with the lights on I had plans before the meeting An answer growing inside me New name, and the old on the doorway Different faces, same heartbeat Years passed hidden in the background Pouring drinks and watching storms Funny how I found myself there Keeping other people warm Two voices shining through the midnight One heartbeat turning into three No grand words, no bright explosion Just the shape of where I’d be Lights on  through the prism afterglow Every broken colour leads me home No distance left between our hearts One beam burning when we move as one Lights on  no fear, no retreat Every lost heartbeat comes back to me Forward motion burning strong I’m still here with the lights on Morning light across the windows No alarms, no need to run Half-packed boxes by the doorway Feels strange thinking past next month Now the rooms don’t feel temporary No more waiting for the storm Funny how the world kept moving And somehow left the lights on Every colour Every line Every doorway Every light All this motion All this time Leading somewhere Code Divine Lights on  through the prism afterglow Every broken colour leads me home No distance left between our hearts One beam burning when we move as one Lights on  no fear, no retreat Every lost heartbeat comes back to me Forward motion burning strong I’m still here with the lights on Lights on  through the prism afterglow Every broken colour leads us home No distance left between our hearts One beam burning when we move as one Lights on  no fear, no retreat Every darkened window turns to gold for me Forward motion burning strong We’re still here with the lights on
