What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,13Please respect copyright.PENANAM6c1egBu2f
casting shapes the night won’t show.13Please respect copyright.PENANA7JQSlD0QKd
A careful smile, a measured breath,13Please respect copyright.PENANAuIshk99Y0B
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,13Please respect copyright.PENANAbKgUXOvjKb
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.13Please respect copyright.PENANAldQOjg9v2I
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,13Please respect copyright.PENANAxIcQ5sn4nH
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,13Please respect copyright.PENANApM59c8BwLT
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.13Please respect copyright.PENANAdxL6KSHoU0
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,13Please respect copyright.PENANANn1UL13Sha
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,13Please respect copyright.PENANA9vyx7W1S88
what hides beneath this perfect mask.13Please respect copyright.PENANA6r89qpGJ2V
But in the dark, the shadows know—13Please respect copyright.PENANAMODn8Hm6i1
the things we fear, yet never show.
