What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,235Please respect copyright.PENANALpPyzWs1DY
casting shapes the night won’t show.235Please respect copyright.PENANAouyg7nkTQf
A careful smile, a measured breath,235Please respect copyright.PENANAkgwMsJxqBo
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,235Please respect copyright.PENANAiubQCZINEU
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.235Please respect copyright.PENANANjabmT9oVz
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,235Please respect copyright.PENANAkHJyqkWLq2
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,235Please respect copyright.PENANACt7iyFUxrL
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.235Please respect copyright.PENANAEqrws95c3s
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,235Please respect copyright.PENANAZfAdAPOtC7
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,235Please respect copyright.PENANAIGo8TJbBCC
what hides beneath this perfect mask.235Please respect copyright.PENANAAP9OGQOz3n
But in the dark, the shadows know—235Please respect copyright.PENANARwGvPoI405
the things we fear, yet never show.
