Send Me an Angel

Tears were coursing down a face that should have never cried. The piano played, softly, but surely with a sad melody. A sorrowful voice joined it, a haunting voice that was usually so filled with laughter, with sadness.
"It's been five months since you went away
Left without a word and nothing to say
When I was the one who gave you my heart and soul
But it wasn't good enough for you, no
So I asked God
God send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel"
The voice faltered a moment but continued as the tears kept falling. Beautiful green eyes were bright with, not laughter, but tears. Such a soul was crippled, even planning the garden festival or taking apart explosives weren't fun anymore. Something was missing, and since it was gone, nothing else mattered.
"And I know it might sound crazy
But after all that I still love you
You wanna come back in my life
But now there is something I have to do
I have to tell the one that I once adored
That they can't have my love no more
Cause my heart can't take no more lies
And my eyes are all out of cries
God send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel
To wipe the tears from my eyes"
The appearance of the crying spirit was so different that no one who knew it would recognize it, unless they had looked closely. The melody that flowed through the air was so unlike the usual spirit, but the person was changed now, a different persona all together.
"Now you had me on my knees
Begging God please to send you back to me
I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep
You made me feel like I could not breathe
Now all I wanted to do was to feel your touch
And give you all my love
But you took my love for granted
Want my lovin' now
But you can't have it
God
God send me an angel
From the heavens above
Send me an angel to heal my broken heart
From being in love
'Cause all I do is cry
God send me an angel
To wipe the tears from my eyes
Oh God, send me (God send me an angel)
An angel (wipe the tears from my eyes) Oh baby
Send me an angel from the heavens above
Send me an angel (God send me an angel)
From being in love (send me an angel)
Oh God, send me an angel
Send me an angel (send me an angel)
Ooohhhh..."
With the final note, the hands left the keys of the piano and reached for a small bag. With it swung over a shoulder the heartbroken brunette walked out the auditorium and headed toward the front entrance. With one final tear-filled backwards look, she walked down the path that her lover had once taken five months ago...
Zell walked out of the shadows watching his friend go. Face sad, he turned toward the garden to let everyone that another of their group had gone. One last whisper left his lips as he entered the door.
"Goodbye Selphie. I hope that you may one day find happiness, even with him gone."

"May the Shadows cry for me, for no one else will."
