What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,261Please respect copyright.PENANALfvYfaOTRJ
casting shapes the night won’t show.261Please respect copyright.PENANA9shPA1RHvC
A careful smile, a measured breath,261Please respect copyright.PENANAb2XnFvAd6b
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,261Please respect copyright.PENANAIf27Hrb8jR
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.261Please respect copyright.PENANAQhmrfpb6W4
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,261Please respect copyright.PENANAjmVT3hXnsk
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,261Please respect copyright.PENANAw0FbJMDymf
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.261Please respect copyright.PENANAm5glVV7L6J
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,261Please respect copyright.PENANAj2n6JAHNSr
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,261Please respect copyright.PENANA2rywOs5fi0
what hides beneath this perfect mask.261Please respect copyright.PENANAv3Ev1zMwHl
But in the dark, the shadows know—261Please respect copyright.PENANAysv7ChhHeg
the things we fear, yet never show.
