In the quiet of the night, shadows dance
Whispers echo through the stillness, a trance
They speak of secrets long forgotten
Of love and loss, of hearts downtrodden

The shadows cloak the world in mystery
They hide the truth and create our history
They follow us wherever we shall go
Lurking about in the corners, moving slow

Whispers float upon the gentle breeze
Carrying messages, just as they please
They tell tales of joy and woes of sorrow
Of their yesterday and of our tomorrow

But beware, for shadows truly deceive
As whispers yield no good reprieve
They twist the truth and distort the reality
Leaving us lost inside...
