I'm Not ready to Die

I live in the shadows she say's
I am not here not anymore.
the last words of a girl so full of scorn.
no one was there when she was laid to rest.
No one was there when she took her first test.
She gave her life for that of a man who never really wanted her.
she died in pain and no one saw.
Why won't you listen to me she screams at the crowd.
the same crowd that looks at her picture.
they cannot see her.
they will not hear her.
I am still here she wails.
i am not yet dead dig me out of this hole.
i am not ready for eternal rest. she screams at the preist.
he turns and looks her way then walks away.
he saw her there he knew her face.
he will not say what she needs to hear
your dead he whispers thirty years later.
he is on his death bed with her standing near.
she knows that this is true.
but i'm not ready for eternal rest yet she cries.
one last time she begs to be seen.
