Shadows

In shadows deep where whispered secrets dwell,  

A figure looms, obscured by night's embrace.  

With hollow eyes that pierce like tolling bell,  

It wanders through the dark, a deathly trace.  


The moonlight shivers, casting ghostly hues,  

As winds lament the tales of those long lost.  

In silence, dread takes root, a seed of blues,  

A haunting echo of the soul's great cost.  


Beneath the floor, the restless spirits wail,  

Their memories entwined in chilling sighs.  

Each creak and groan a testament to pale  

Fates woven tight, where innocence still dies.  


So tread with care where shadows dare to creep,  

For in the dark, the waking dreams may weep.
