What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,198Please respect copyright.PENANAUiUrEykXNj
casting shapes the night won’t show.198Please respect copyright.PENANAbhIEka9I6p
A careful smile, a measured breath,198Please respect copyright.PENANAUCCg80uYuw
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,198Please respect copyright.PENANAhWDwa30JXs
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.198Please respect copyright.PENANAz9G8BYGzAZ
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,198Please respect copyright.PENANAYu4fDJ4Dj5
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,198Please respect copyright.PENANAOFZaLa3EzP
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.198Please respect copyright.PENANAPdq5sYn0Qv
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,198Please respect copyright.PENANAXtq76a2Uey
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,198Please respect copyright.PENANAbKsi5s84FR
what hides beneath this perfect mask.198Please respect copyright.PENANAbJSThM6TPA
But in the dark, the shadows know—198Please respect copyright.PENANAq1IrRZuFG6
the things we fear, yet never show.
