What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,170Please respect copyright.PENANArY3NnpC8zL
casting shapes the night won’t show.170Please respect copyright.PENANAh7gKxw922z
A careful smile, a measured breath,170Please respect copyright.PENANAZyaDzLaRXW
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,170Please respect copyright.PENANAbb2YowWbCP
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.170Please respect copyright.PENANA9JyiSBZV56
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,170Please respect copyright.PENANAUDz7kriUxN
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,170Please respect copyright.PENANA1zFnPWpgYb
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.170Please respect copyright.PENANA8XqCmGaBkU
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,170Please respect copyright.PENANAFbMThvICdy
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,170Please respect copyright.PENANAx70n7uQ7Sx
what hides beneath this perfect mask.170Please respect copyright.PENANA892tyRR9GD
But in the dark, the shadows know—170Please respect copyright.PENANA4M7Ez3knZ7
the things we fear, yet never show.
