A Ghost Among the Living

For so many years I have walked
In amidst the mists and shadows of the world
Hiding from light and the eyes of man
Like a leper, unclean
This forest carries my name
Unknown to those who live
Found in ancient scriptures
In stories eerie and morbid

Unclean, unseen

No longer can I feel any warmth
Nor does disease shame me
I only feel this cold and a pain
From within my soul

Unclean, unseen

Year by year I hide deeper
Into the woods of peril
I am the cursed one
A ghost among the living
A faint memory
Now this world means nothing to me
Forgotten for eternity
I am a ghost among the living
