Trick of the Light

My eyes clouded over from the tears and the rain, Heart speeding up, through emotion and pain, She was gone forever, would I see her again, Dear Lady, Dear Angel, Dear Lover, Dear Saint. Throwing dirt on her casket I looked up to the sky, This wonderful lady had left me to die, All alone, without her, could I continue to breathe, Begging for answers why my angel did leave. I moved away from the crowd and towards the black car, Numbness and guilt, my mind moving afar, Memories of her dancing through the day and the night, For a moment I see her, a trick of the light.
