I knew Her as an angel
She is remembered as a ghost
Haunting every memory
with love that now is lost
Her ways were
near to perfect
until the shadows
touched Her soul
The bitter winds
they overtook Her
far more fierce
than She could hold
Now the hauntings
of Our memories
and the tragedy
that did befall
is all that's left
me to remember
of the angel whose
name I once did call
Beauty then to darkness
as the shadows
haunting pause
Reveal a ghost before me
where an angel
there once was
Remembering an angel
when surely She is lost
I turn and focus onward
Righteous vengeance
then my cause.
