Long Sad Delusion

     I dreamed I saw their faces
     And spoke to them once again
     But they could not, or would not reply
     And why would they acknowledge such a ragged old beggar

     Being once young and strong
     And having the wind at mye back
     I cast them aside
     Because I was headed away

     But now, age has struck me down
     I long to set things aright
     For I have examined the new heart
     I’m soon to receive

     I thought I could repair the fragments
     of the feelings I so carelessly shattered
     but my hands are shaking
     and mye vision is a blur

     In the dream, I secreted them a small patch of leather
     So as to have an excuse to retrieve it
     But the patch was returned
     Without a word

     Out of time, mye plans have unraveled

     [ It’s been a long saad delusion          ]
     [ I once was so blind, but now I can see  ]
     [ It’s been a long saad delusion          ]
     [Girl I thought you would come back to me ]
