Silent Pages Unturned
(shhh) Aarav strikes a solitary match
Zoey lifts the rusted latch
Paper bound in frayed dark thread Gathering secrets left unsaid
Ink that bleeds across the page Bound within an iron cage
Five lost chapters in the gloom Waiting in a locked cold room
Turn the key and hold your breath Stories carved in quiet theft
Five dark tales of things that never came Written under Aarav and
Zoey's name
The letters never sent,
the trains that missed the track
The dawn that broke its promise and never brought them back
(never coming back)
Aarav maps the forgotten street
Zoey marks where shadows meet An empty crib,
a ruined gate A bell that chimed a year too late Five
quiet nightmares penned in red
For eyes that wake beside the dead
Listen close,
the pages turn
Candles flicker,
refusing to burn
They didn't arrive,
they never appeared
Everything awaited,
everything feared (shiver)
Five dark tales of things that never came
Bound forever in Aarav and Zoey's name
The cures that arrived late,
the bells that never rang The desperate final prayer
that no one ever sang
(they never came)
Close the cover,
shut the door
Leave the book upon the floor
Five
dark tales... (they never
came)
