What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,172Please respect copyright.PENANAy5CbHuB3eW
casting shapes the night won’t show.172Please respect copyright.PENANA8S3eklbXM2
A careful smile, a measured breath,172Please respect copyright.PENANAHsTZOfWJJU
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,172Please respect copyright.PENANAC9zzQ17wAz
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.172Please respect copyright.PENANAU8QyAFb3yd
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,172Please respect copyright.PENANAqSWbOgvjoL
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,172Please respect copyright.PENANAwDBHB7CNad
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.172Please respect copyright.PENANA1o3CZK5bdu
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,172Please respect copyright.PENANAMoL7sPtI1M
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,172Please respect copyright.PENANAQPBEa7s5Au
what hides beneath this perfect mask.172Please respect copyright.PENANA5bniwRnk5i
But in the dark, the shadows know—172Please respect copyright.PENANAy0WsDpsOvQ
the things we fear, yet never show.
