Arrivals

 

I stand at arrivals,

waiting for love,

as the clock ticks

countless minutes away.

I wait watching patiently.

Every new face that departs

before the journey even starts.

I stand listening to the tannoy voice

saying no more trains tonight.

I walk away into the darkness

of another midnight.

 

I stand at arrivals,

awaiting love to alight the train.

I stand in the greying light

of the evening rain,

listening to the sound

of the leaving trains,

their wheels screeching

through the endlessly reaching

 puddles of midnight

like beasts

ready to bite, feast and drain.

 

I stand at arrivals,

maybe I should have departed,

let myself regrow

the heart that you tore.

I should have taken

a journey away,

but I waited,

just to be sure.

 

I stand,

waiting for ever delayed arrival

of a wish that travelled away.

Watching metal tracks

glint in the moonlight

I stand at arrivals

waiting for days.

Watching the departing hope 

as it catches different trains.
