Images of you and her
Drifting through the sky
A perfect apparition
Floating away into an oasis of love
Shades of blue and clouds so soft
The sun's rays
Reflect off her eyes
So beautiful, those green eyes

I watch from another point of view
Where I stand, where only I can see
The rain clouds forming overhead
Black skies approaching
Lightning strikes in the cold, dry air
Thunder crashes, God's laughing

And now you look just in time to see her blow away
Drift off into Hell
You're brought back to Earth
Placed right beside me
You look so lonely, tears falling from your eyes
You quickly grasp my hand
Tightening your grip, as if begging for my attention

But baby, you left me here alone
And to act like nothing happened . . .

I turn my head to meet your gaze
We stare at the sky together
The sky that brought her to earth
Right before she took you from me
And now that she's gone
You act like it was always us

Do you remember how I told you you'd regret this

Before you walked away?

And you smiled and said, "she's so much better."
Well she's all yours, now.
I would never take you from her.
Because the truth is . . .

               I feel nothing.

I can feel the hurt in this...and the independent strength.  Good write!
