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 



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

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
