Ghost

I stood in the night alone and invisible facing my grave.

The fresh soil that lay there covered my corpse, marking out demise all to soon.

Time ceased to exist as I knelt down and felt my headstone.

It was cold and empty.

In the half-light of the moon, I read the engraved name, the name which has no more meaning or worth.

I put my hand over my grave.

I could no longer feel the beating of a heart but the beating of a soul longing to be free.

As I stared at my body, I thought of all that was and should have been.

All that I should have said and all that I held back.

Because of this I am doomed to wander this earthly plain, my soul disturbed, my mind unknowing, my heart unfulfilled.

I am condemned to spend my days hiding from the light and my nights haunting the dreams of the damned.
