TRAIN STATION

the silence is deafening
as I step out on this platform
alone yet again
as you have left me
with out a word
that's when the silence began
when you snuffed the flame
on the candle of our friendship
everyone here seems to be leaving
on a different train than me
all going away with each other
pushing me aside
for a new
a better friend
one that is all shiny and polished
and fits the mold of perfection
one that is predictable
and will only do as is told
will only love on command
and only as much as given room to
I will never be that person
but why does no one stay on my train
will I forever be the only one heading this direction
will you return for the trip home
or am I embarking on this journey
alone.
