Rail Moon Wine

by Kelly Wright - Aries



I fell in love 
with a passing train.
I knew his face 
I knew his name.
The strength of steel 
I'll never forget,
wrapped in velvet 
no tears,no regrets.
I felt so cold 
as the steam warmed my skin.
Pain filled my heart 
as I watched the end begin.
To have heard "I love you" 
would not make things right,
though
I whispered just that 
as he rolled out of sight.
I'm not free 
to ride the rails alone;
build on what I feel,
and live the unknown.
So there's a place in my heart 
where he will be.
Till maybe one day 
he'll roll right back to me.
