nameless

You do not have a name,

There are no words to use.

Nothing will suffice,

I can’t refer to you.

Few know what you’re like,

Fewer still have ever seen you.

A shadow in the dark,

Invisible and see-through.

Like you were always there,

Yet you never did exist.

If you were never real,

Then how can you be missed?

Please tell me who you are,

Death has made its claim.

For surely someone died,

I just do not know their name.
