What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,10Please respect copyright.PENANAi8rhRz7uNd
casting shapes the night won’t show.10Please respect copyright.PENANA6j5jcMhnCx
A careful smile, a measured breath,10Please respect copyright.PENANACvZzRRYswZ
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,10Please respect copyright.PENANAwHEWV1RQKj
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.10Please respect copyright.PENANA1JPR4taDsw
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,10Please respect copyright.PENANAtmcVvc8m4o
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,10Please respect copyright.PENANAIdwwZJiBhF
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.10Please respect copyright.PENANA2QFnsSJ1XD
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,10Please respect copyright.PENANAqn0cNCVwG1
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,10Please respect copyright.PENANAFDL6sGmKik
what hides beneath this perfect mask.10Please respect copyright.PENANA0wkQKnlWcx
But in the dark, the shadows know—10Please respect copyright.PENANAMfRrUeUFBU
the things we fear, yet never show.
