Oh, then we were inseparable

Nothing could keep us apart

Nights and days we revelled

We shared one loving heart

 

She's gone now, taken so quick

I watch in vain for some trace

But her spirit refuses to emerge

Only the shadow of her face

 

Its like her soul never existed

A mirage from the day we met

Did I dream the words of love

That entrapped me in her net?

 

She was not one for possessions

I walk around touching her stuff

It leaves me  feeling cheated

She did not leave me enough

 

Last night I awoke to her voice

So close, knelt still by my side

Whispering of a past new to me

Before disappearing, she cried

 

I realise now it was all an act

Her defences were too strong

She'd been hurt when a child

Trust to her was always wrong

 

She stole my life with her own

I saw myself ringing up the police

She dangled there till they came

Pretending she'd found release

 

She's gone now, taken so quick

I watch in vain for some trace

But her spirit refuses to emerge

Only the shadow of her face
