* *The Wraith * *

Have you seen me floating by?
Waiting beneath the twilight sky?
Have you seen me shed my tears?
Unveiling all your deepest fears?

I am the wraith of your longing
The dark nymph that's belonging
To the recesses of your broken heart
And pierces sharp just like a dart

Have you heard my singing voice?
Inaudible like the slightest noise?
Have you heard me call your name?
Defiling you in all your shame?

I am the wraith of your darkest hate
Your life I've knotted intrinsicate
Pulling and tugging you grow tight
Unaware of your impending plight

Have you felt my loving kiss?
Soft and gentle, so easy to miss?
Have you felt my sharpened nails?
Deep dark gashes, crimson vales?

I am the wraith of your own life
I am your own suicidal knife
You want me to take you quickly
But!

You've already drowned in your own self-pity.
