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.
