Wraiths
We are the wraiths
Floating above
Embracing the ghosts
Of our chemical love
Weare the ones
you're not sure you see
Hiding in shadows
Barely perceived
We search out the alleys
The cut throughs, the lanes
Old rusting bridges
That echo our names
Waiting for runners
When did they leave
Bring us the air
That only we breathe
Empty glass vials
And sharp metal pins
Empty and deadly
Yet smiling within
Such obvious secrets
Betrayed in our eyes
Our scars and our tracks
Our mouths full of lies
But we'll smile in your judgment
Because we are the grey
In your black and white world
Of lightness and day
