Two Trains

Folder: 
Thought For Food

two trains

on two tracks

i point out to her

how they collide in the distance



she says

i know the illusion

i tell her, no

i'm afraid this time you don't



i begged her

not to get on

but she turned left

a former friend

she can't stand

had turned right



all aboard

was all you heard

if you didn't hear yourself think

it took a little bit of work,

and no matter how hard i tried

she couldn't hear me

saying..please don't..



please don't go......



two trains

on two tracks

took off and just left

a stranger kind, said they'll be okay



and looked

at me in strange way

cause i said, no

i'm afraid there's truth to this tear



this tear on my face



and we heard the bang

and we saw the smoke

but everybody went back to work

and the next day



got on the next two trains.....is that the way it ends?....is that the way it ends...?.....is that the way it ends.......

I really like this. I can sadly relate. I wish that my love, my awkward, random, out-of-the-blue love wrote it but you, Mr. Fessel do write one mean poem.

Well done. :)

A very powerful, visual piece, well written.
