Hiding in Shadow
Hiding in shadows
Dark and astray
Keeping to darkness
Hidden neatly away
A ghost in mist
A faded shade
Impossible to see night or day
Eye's like coal
Hair like onyx
A blackened soul
And scented toxic
never seen
Forever alone
Walking one path
Nowhere to call home
Hiding in shadow
Never to be found
till the day comes
To be put in the ground
