At night she would be seen

A pale figure in the darkness

A wooden cross with roses was her marker

The figure wore a dull white gown of elegance

Her wings, shredded and lifeless

No longer did they hold the vitality of youth

No moonbeams gave her light

She was lonely now, as she had been in life

The roses left behind from her sister

One who had already forgotten her and moved on

A silent tear slid down her face

She said a silent prayer to herself

As the sunrise came she faded into the mist

Like the ghost, that she was meant to be.
