Hallucinations

I saw you walking
Only yesterday
When I ran to catch you
You disappeared
And the street was gray.

The candle died
Now you are gone
For the flame was too bright
Now you are gone.

I heard you laughing
With your laugh of gold
When I called out to you
Silence returned
And the air was cold.

The castle fell
Now you are gone
And no more rings the bell
Now you are gone.

I found a letter
On the day it rained
When I tore it open
There in my hands
Only ash remained.

The castle fell
Now you are gone
And no more rings the bell
Now you are gone.

I felt you breathing
As I fell asleep
When I reached out to touch you.
No one was there
And the night was deep
The candle died
Now you are gone
For the flame was too bright.
Now you are gone

I saw you walking
Only yesterday.
When I ran to catch you
You disappeared
And the street was gray.

The castle fell.
Now you are gone
No more rings the bell
Now you are gone.
