Albert.

I watched you die
Twice
In my mind's eye
Thrice you've mocked me for leaning on you
And four times you've disappeared

And every time you returned
Albert
Like a gunshot in my ear
Like a bomb underneath my feet
In those tunnels that run beneath the street

You taught me to trust
And I mistrusted you in haste
Oh, Gott
(It appears that Traugott now is me)
You were so grateful that I couldn't see
But I see you shining there
Albert
