A
folded page on the table lay
No return address,
no name to say Ink runs deep like whispered lies
Tracing shadows in my mind Who sent the words I fear to read?
A warning sign,
a planted seed Fingers tremble,
heart beats fast
Is this a secret from my past?
An anonymous letter,
sealed in black A message sent,
but no way back
Lines of truth,
or lines of threat Every word is a ghost in my head
The paper smells of rain and smoke A silent scream,
a tethered rope
Letters twist,
but they don't explain Am I the hunter,
or the prey?
Who sent the words I fear to read?
A warning sign, a planted seed
Fingers tremble,
heart beats fast Is this a secret from my past?
An anonymous letter,
sealed in black A message sent,
but no way back
Lines of truth,
or lines of threat Every word is a ghost in my head
Do I follow where it leads?
Or burn the past and let it bleed?
If I ignore it, will it fade?
Or come to life like debts unpaid?
An anonymous letter,
cold and cruel A puzzle piece,
or a twisted rule?
If I respond, do I play their game?
Or vanish like the missing name?
The ink still glows beneath the light And I whisper,
who wrote you tonight?
