What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,205Please respect copyright.PENANAoCG6rZRAQF
casting shapes the night won’t show.205Please respect copyright.PENANAkD4rnwXVFj
A careful smile, a measured breath,205Please respect copyright.PENANAouNDcLQYHb
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,205Please respect copyright.PENANAC1E7jrIH9e
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.205Please respect copyright.PENANAY36GY2F0Ju
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,205Please respect copyright.PENANAN1UDfGovR0
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,205Please respect copyright.PENANAYw9vwM6jEM
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.205Please respect copyright.PENANAWDOIGYnFzv
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,205Please respect copyright.PENANABECWmFlOCH
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,205Please respect copyright.PENANAJRbsM4m4nO
what hides beneath this perfect mask.205Please respect copyright.PENANAQGN1No5Rc1
But in the dark, the shadows know—205Please respect copyright.PENANAiciVM1ijoL
the things we fear, yet never show.
