What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,178Please respect copyright.PENANA7Yt1B5Y26D
casting shapes the night won’t show.178Please respect copyright.PENANAopH287XwTh
A careful smile, a measured breath,178Please respect copyright.PENANA3IyEoE3Wm6
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,178Please respect copyright.PENANAZJIZkZRqD9
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.178Please respect copyright.PENANAEGwwic8LYz
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,178Please respect copyright.PENANAm28tTauwOb
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,178Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9cUUyGDpa
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.178Please respect copyright.PENANAo37GFbjScx
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,178Please respect copyright.PENANAJFF0BzlBrP
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,178Please respect copyright.PENANA31Nw1bv0Ht
what hides beneath this perfect mask.178Please respect copyright.PENANAUtbUfPyLAO
But in the dark, the shadows know—178Please respect copyright.PENANAJTa7ySiHgz
the things we fear, yet never show.
