No Trace (Dedicated To Her Memory)

She’s gone, there’s no Trace
                                          No more leather, no more lace
                                          No alluring smile upon her face
                                      He took her and left me with no Trace

                                         A dark and troubled life she’d led
                                      The hidden tears dark eyes had shed
                                          Dangerous waters she had tread
                                        Today I found out Trace was dead

                                       Tough and hard, the role she’d played
                                        Of nothing, she said, was she afraid
                                        But when all her cards had been laid
                                        Twas a tender heart God had made

                                             A sister’s love we had shared
                                           To each other souls were bared
                                         Standing by her when no one dared
                                         Staying with me when no one cared

                                         Now she’s gone, I have no Trace
                                      No long black hair falling ‘cross her face
                                            In heaven now, a better place
                                           Leaving me here without a Trace



 I’ll miss you…

So sad, dear. If this is true, how odd that her name was Trace and how you used that name in the lines of poetry. Very creative to do that. LUv, Andrea
