Alien Emotion

Folder: 
Addicted (Denial)

I saw the train coming closer

To pick me up and take me away

To a place I hadn't been before

Somewhere I wouldn't forget

And I hoped, oh hoped

That I would be their soon



The train stopped and I got on

But fear took me over

I looked at the faces in the seats

Each dark face reflecting

A universe of fear and hate

The chill biting me to the core



I approached a tormented seat

It's cloth hung with regret

Another stool dampened the air

It too filled with remorse

I sat on a patch of fear

and waiting for the train to move



Now my premonition begot with doubt

Rocking back and forth i sat

Swaying with the motion of the train

Feeling the troubled air between me

I was filled with alien emotions

But always hopefull for the stop



The ride rolls on forever

Time not wanting part of this heat

Distant eyes look over me

Some distant as the close horizon

Others near as the furthest hieght

I felt raped by the air



I can sense the voices now

Now so much heard but felt

Their hate and distress echoing

From every part of the cabin

I feel them prying my brain

And get closer, ever closer



They pry into my soul but I hold

My inner self not giving a blink

Harder and harder they try for me

I couldn't hold for much longer

Ever the battle going on and on

I hope eternity ends soon...



Now the train rides to a close

It's stop is not known by anyone

No-one got off, no-one got on

Not even me, I reached my stop before

Consumed by lost souls

Consumed by the Alien Emotions

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Wrote this whilst on a train suprisingly, watching people live their lives going from one thing to the next, one stop to the next, never thinking about whats inbetween. Consumed by hungry advertisements at the stations waiting to make you buy them.
