Empty Station

you left me standing in the station
a few stops back, it was midnight
as i watched your train pull away
and wondered how far home was
how much longer it would take
for my sun to rise
so i could choose the clearest path
away from your mistake and my heartbreak
home to a new love, to a fresh start
to spill some ink on another page of my open book

the empty station watched me turn away
after your train was out of sight
poised on the last step with a breath of hope
that died alongside my echoing footsteps
when i realized you would not be back that night
so i wandered down the only path that
reminded me of you; a familiar sign
in the midst of such desertion
and i needed to get back to me
before there was a me and you, to find myself
on the lonely road and catch my own train home

 

did this really happen to you

 

Really, really enjoyed this one of yours, thanks sweety~!

 

This was great… so raw, and it seems to have a speechless or shocked emotion that creeps out in parts, like here:

Yeah, that’s a familiar feeling…

 

yeah, I think this one owned me after that line.
