Inej

Inej;

The moon shining from above,

jumping from rooftop to rooftop,

feeling the cold wind blow,

don’t look back.

wraith.

Don't look behind you,

don't look back to who you used to be,

to the beaches of your homeland,

to the peaceful sea,

for you will only remember that day,

the day you died.

You weren’t a wraith.

The creaking of the ship,

the smell of decay,

the person you were,

died that day.

You were a wraith.

A new person stands here, now,

never at peace.

You are a wraith.

Always running, jumping, clinging,

always looking back to see who’s there,

only to see yourself staring back,

a shadow of yourself,

a mere ghost haunting your memories,

never at peace.

You the a wraith.

You walk the streets,

climb the buildings,

you silently explore the city,

restless, finding avoiding,

the one you love.

You are,

                                                                      The Wraith.
