arqios

forever keep silent

 

\"Zwijgen Voor Altijd\"

Within these walls,
memory claws again—
talons once raked
through tender skin.
The bars still hold
their verdict tight.

The sound of boots
in narrow halls
marks a rhythm
too sharp to forget.
Each strike recalls
the sentence spoken.

Two figures bend low,
eyes narrowed,
searching shadows
for a place to breathe.
Their names unspoken,
their silence shared.

Night grants a pause,
a fragile cover.
Yet even sleep
cannot hold its tongue:
dreams spill
what waking lips conceal.
The silence cracks,
then seals again.

Beneath stone,
a chamber waits.
No cipher speaks—
only the sentence
of lifelong silence.
