Wraith

Eyes of ice

Heart of stone

Shadow of the past

Looking for home

Where I go

No one can know

Cast aside

Similar to your old toy

Lost and alone

While looking for home

A shadow I am

Locked in a cage

Built by rage

Wounded and afraid

Hidden and frayed

Looking for light

While looking for love

Shadows move

When the trees whisper

Battles rage

On dream’s landscape

All are beasts

No matter life’s walk

Values and ideals

Vary man to man

Left in the light

Is nature’s fight

Sometimes carried over

Into moon’s pale cover

Lost to the darkness

My soul doth bleed
