"Darkness falls

I weep

for I am both alive

and yet dead all the same.

I have been at deaths door

I have seen death himself

and yet he waits for my answer.

I am dead but also alive

for I am what you mortals fear

I am a wraith

not cruel but dark nonetheless.

I have seen my past life

and yet I live it out

a wraith I was born as.

Alive and dead

Dark but not cruel

Not evil nor good

I stand the test of time."
