What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,196Please respect copyright.PENANABPJMyYWbwd
casting shapes the night won’t show.196Please respect copyright.PENANATMGlDWfHpf
A careful smile, a measured breath,196Please respect copyright.PENANAznk751vhK3
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,196Please respect copyright.PENANAHuVD1c69xm
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.196Please respect copyright.PENANAtC7OlrmYTJ
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,196Please respect copyright.PENANAKNea9kZp5t
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,196Please respect copyright.PENANAm3u0CZ9mHx
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.196Please respect copyright.PENANAuYvcWihnxb
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,196Please respect copyright.PENANAGY9wImIX73
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,196Please respect copyright.PENANACbllwS7tjb
what hides beneath this perfect mask.196Please respect copyright.PENANAdgroHTTXfo
But in the dark, the shadows know—196Please respect copyright.PENANAu49rpdgoee
the things we fear, yet never show.
