I Was Here

Now you see me, now you don't All gone with a puff of smoke Shiminey, my heart, my mind once adored Waiting, hoping to be mercifully reborn Now you know me, now you forgot Temperate, ambrosaic memoirs that we've got Thinking, my mind, my soul not found Accused, wronged with your own love's doubt Now you hear me, now I'm mute Forever silenced by the noise up due Singing, my soul, my heart deeply pierced As I struggle to voice myself in tears Now you sensed me, and now I'm gone All packed up with the virtues I had won Once treated gloriously like diamonds, and now they are none I was here... But then, I never was.
