Lost Train

I said it was lovely, crisp and new. 

I said it to the one next to me: you.

You broke the calm surface,

Shattered the glass,

Muddied the waters,

Shaved the dry grass.

I was by your side all the time

Drowning in the foreign grime

You broke all the eggs

To show me the yolks

Shells are so pretty white

I miss the mirrors and smoke

Thanks for giving me the truth

But now you’ve lost my youth

It’s a gift you can’t give back

One I didn’t know I was giving

Now I feel ashamed for the world

And for the life we’re all living
