Waiting for the Train

They looked up and down
Up and down
Up and down
Expecting trains that were not coming.
That would never come.
They looked up and down
Up and down
And with each breath
They looked up and down
Expecting things they would never see.
Expecting things that would never come to this train station.
But they continued to look up and down
Up and down
Silently praying to themselves that the train they were waiting for would finally come.
But it never did
And it never will.
And they’re still standing there
Waiting
Looking up and down
Up and down
Up and down
Waiting for trains that they will never see.
But me.
I stand outside this train station and watch
All these blank faces searching for things that they can’t seem to find.
And then I turn and walk out into the real world
Into a place where the trains don’t come to you
You chase down the trains
You grab them by their tracks and you pull them close to you
Praying you can catch up
Praying you can finally run at the speeds they’re speeding through your life at
But I would rather be dragged behind these trains that I have finally wrapped my fingers around
Than wait at the train station
Looking up and down
Up and down
Waiting for things that will never come.
