Words Unwritten

A pencil rests idle, no eraser in sight,

a relic of promises, half-formed and slight.

My thoughts dance on paper, a waltz out of tune,

no room for correction, just shadows and gloom.


Every word a misstep, an echo of doubt,

as I linger on pages where silence shouts out.

The tip of my pencil, a frayed little stub,

uncorrected, unyielding, like life in a hub.
