Railway Blues

I remember back then
We were so young
I wrote love poems to you
They were beautiful just like you.
And I wrote them only for you.

I waited at the old railway station
For your train to arrive from the city.
The noisy trains and dirty station
Went unnoticed when you
Stepped to the platform
The bright yellow dress like a sun.

God! I loved you so much
And I still do.
You threw yourself
into my arms then
and into my heart.

You want your freedom now
I do not beg of you to stay
Blowing flames from the ashes
Of what was once us.

Leave me then
take all we have.
I do not want it anymore.
Make a final journey
to the old railway station.
Board the next train
to the city lights.
 

I shall remain here forever alone.
Writing beautiful love poems.
Still all for you.
Poems that I know
You will never understand.
