What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,211Please respect copyright.PENANAnb5ch6x3BZ
casting shapes the night won’t show.211Please respect copyright.PENANAquyqVvVbom
A careful smile, a measured breath,211Please respect copyright.PENANAKl02CvZ0TB
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,211Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2zfKAsNcS
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.211Please respect copyright.PENANAPBcJ2IS2KR
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,211Please respect copyright.PENANAGvhsmetLGa
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,211Please respect copyright.PENANArZkeaLOiGQ
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.211Please respect copyright.PENANA5qihYt2wGk
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,211Please respect copyright.PENANAGWvJNSQmXf
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,211Please respect copyright.PENANAz4S7bxWSQq
what hides beneath this perfect mask.211Please respect copyright.PENANAoeByislYJT
But in the dark, the shadows know—211Please respect copyright.PENANAsPeMT4nSR6
the things we fear, yet never show.
