Train
Vivian Timmins 1955 (United States)
I hear the train
As I sit alone
Just me & my pain.
It just sounded it's horn
I'm tired & worn
My heart tattered & torn.
This place is scary at night, even men have fright, especially when there's no moon light, they keep their car door locked tight.
Yet I'm frozen as if In a trance
My spirit is broken I'm just not the same. But to let myself lose to your cruel game is something I refuse to allow, no more shame. I'll get back to my beautiful self, & put these dreary episodes on the back shelf. I will spring back, enjoy my life, I'll go ride that train, throw out my pain, and never look back, as I wave good bye to you standing alone next to the track
