Taking the Train





Clouds skim the sky

with sorrow and pain
and I was there
when the city lights
reflected in your eyes

Train spews steam
upon a grimacing moon
lurking in the background
like a predator in the night
waiting for prey

You and I
once red hot lovers
surpassing commitment
stand
lives shattered at our feet

People swarm like bees
you turn away
I speak with no sound
the train opens wide
swallowing you forever
