Take that train.
Don't leave any evidence
that you were here.
Don't leave
a trace,
not a speck of yesterday.
Don't lean in for a kiss.
Don't lean in for a kiss.
Resist.
If you stop to think
or let those thoughts
touch your lips
you will get caught in a fantasy,
that doesn't really exist.
Hit the tracks
and don't turn back.
Life still goes on
without the hurt
starting to stack.
Say farewell
without a single word,
just a glance behind,
an imaginary wave.
Raise a glass
to love that fades
into the dim lit shadow
of a place you never fit.
Through the shade
of the window seat you sit,
watching as yesterday
becomes a stain
on the story
you have
written on the page.
Take that train.
Never return again
to this place
of misery and bad dreams.
Old mementos,
keep them in a box,
or somewhere
under lock and key.
Don't keep returning
to fading memory.
Don't let its restraints
stop the growth you need.
Don't look back,
at the crumbling city,
don't cry in pity. Just look forward.
Somewhere is a place that rewards.
