What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,169Please respect copyright.PENANARf1SJBhSHj
casting shapes the night won’t show.169Please respect copyright.PENANA22XRReAJ8v
A careful smile, a measured breath,169Please respect copyright.PENANAx3J68PFCkk
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,169Please respect copyright.PENANAMwdyBYf3EW
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.169Please respect copyright.PENANA65wx1HmHO0
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,169Please respect copyright.PENANAG4Lv54EyoC
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,169Please respect copyright.PENANAzX9eqkkadz
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.169Please respect copyright.PENANAAxXlOY1655
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,169Please respect copyright.PENANAREpgx321LC
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,169Please respect copyright.PENANAtNDjx0qrm8
what hides beneath this perfect mask.169Please respect copyright.PENANA8SRzcWFfns
But in the dark, the shadows know—169Please respect copyright.PENANAG4wqlXaoKt
the things we fear, yet never show.
