What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,171Please respect copyright.PENANAILilbOxnjy
casting shapes the night won’t show.171Please respect copyright.PENANA9hBpx4h4ps
A careful smile, a measured breath,171Please respect copyright.PENANAmxNM9Ust7i
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,171Please respect copyright.PENANA1WasvdV6E1
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.171Please respect copyright.PENANAgQIzNIuhCp
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,171Please respect copyright.PENANApuZAiAzquU
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,171Please respect copyright.PENANAm6c2AAJuVO
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.171Please respect copyright.PENANAnVNndesKVy
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,171Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8NpP6f8Y8
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,171Please respect copyright.PENANAR0o7i7BSJN
what hides beneath this perfect mask.171Please respect copyright.PENANAqzHLkrePUd
But in the dark, the shadows know—171Please respect copyright.PENANAZXuRfyivDf
the things we fear, yet never show.
