What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,195Please respect copyright.PENANAn13Pwilp2p
casting shapes the night won’t show.195Please respect copyright.PENANAYAHD0y49fA
A careful smile, a measured breath,195Please respect copyright.PENANAbN3p0MqpWW
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,195Please respect copyright.PENANAYiph3wdonW
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.195Please respect copyright.PENANAhBdWT7fFz4
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,195Please respect copyright.PENANA6FlhPI6QGZ
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,195Please respect copyright.PENANAzZlhX5jK4i
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.195Please respect copyright.PENANACe3znRGhbu
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,195Please respect copyright.PENANAUONpNVoxBU
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,195Please respect copyright.PENANACYn6zfLs2V
what hides beneath this perfect mask.195Please respect copyright.PENANAnl2GnwltAX
But in the dark, the shadows know—195Please respect copyright.PENANAJGU6EdKmM4
the things we fear, yet never show.
