What the Shadows Know
The candle flickers, soft and low,160Please respect copyright.PENANA35pCdIf6RU
casting shapes the night won’t show.160Please respect copyright.PENANA4VIYB1sR8A
A careful smile, a measured breath,160Please respect copyright.PENANAIY1aLn3dTK
a love that lingers close to death.
Beneath the stars, beneath the sky,160Please respect copyright.PENANA3co459aDze
lie quiet truths we drape in lies.160Please respect copyright.PENANAS5JOlK5hFA
A heart that aches, a soul that waits,160Please respect copyright.PENANA2r6i4dfbJw
behind the lock of iron gates.
Footsteps echo, voices fade,160Please respect copyright.PENANAqyTGxcFxZ6
in hollow halls where ghosts are made.160Please respect copyright.PENANA0s1L20bUjZ
A whispered name, a fleeting glance,160Please respect copyright.PENANA76QNpUxnT0
a sorrow masked in quiet dance.
The world won’t see, the world won’t ask,160Please respect copyright.PENANABFfpIbRkJ3
what hides beneath this perfect mask.160Please respect copyright.PENANAUpzX0O1FaZ
But in the dark, the shadows know—160Please respect copyright.PENANAp8b9yHUbNl
the things we fear, yet never show.
