Waiting in the open air
For the last ride home
All the people stare
Listening to the drone
There it chugs at last
Coming into view
Onto my bags i grasp
I'm coming home to you
Doors open wide
There's very little room
All aboard he cries
Through the dusty plume
All begin to push
A surge towards the door
Such a sudden rush
I'm knocked down to the floor
Doors closed without me
Shaking fist to sky above
Tonight you'll be without me
But tomorrow i promise, my love

sit back

on the last train to town
and it settles itself down
with a bottle of gin.
It leaves me here
by Dominic D.
she sits still,
staring straight ahead,
oblivious to sounds
of the noisy station of
people in a hurry to
get home to
