Mystery

Shadows stretch across the floor
A creak a crack behind the door
The clock ticks loud but time won't tell
This house it hides a secret well

Mystery in every breath
A silent scream a hidden death
Who's the whisper who's the thief
What lies beyond belief

Footsteps echo down the hall
Faint laughter rises then it falls
A mirror cracked a shattered past
What truths are buried meant to last

A flicker of light a fleeting trace
The walls they watch with a faceless face
Answers slip through fingers tight
Lost in the folds of endless night

Mystery in every breath
A silent scream a hidden death
Who's the whisper who's the thief
What lies beyond belief

The puzzle twists the story bends
No beginning and no end
A riddle wrapped in shadow's might
Forever trapped in endless night
