IN AN INSTANT
In an instant it was done
You were sitting on the couch
In an instant you were gone
You were back there in The Crouch
And the laughter that we shared
It had upped and run away
In instant I could see
Now this was a different day
Then the one I thought it was
When we woke up to the sun
In an instant you were lost
And another war begun
With the knocking on your door
And the buzzing of a bell
And the uninvited guest
Came to bring you back to hell
Now I sit and contemplate
How to bring your spirit back
And I'm wishing silently
That my fingers I could snap
Or invoke some holy prayer
Or discover what I lack
So that you'd return to me
In an instant you'd be back
